I can't even begin to express my thoughts to my cousin Kevin. Since I was little, I always emulated him, he was a fireman, which I always wanted to be. I lived in Waltham, he lived in Littleton, I spent many years in his home, with his mother and father, who treated me like a son,always. There were good times, like getting pulled over in Acton with our face painted green, on Halloween! And the days on the "island" that we spent so much time on. I followed you on your fire runs, and with that, I joined the air force, I wanted so much to be a firefighter, and did it. I respected you, and all that you did. You were a true gentleman, just like your Father, you meant what you said, and you stood by your word. Although I was unable to attend your services, I can tell you that there were numerous tears shed over the Grand Canyon for you, as it should be. My Friend, my cousin, my mentor, your safe in Gods hands , I Love You Kevin, and godbless you....Love Colin...

Lynn,
I am so sorry to hear about Kevin, he was such a kind wonderful man who loved you so much. He will be missed tremendously by everyone he touched! I can see him right now with my grandfather riding their bikes in the sky looking down over us. I didn't find out until Saturday otherwise I would have been there to show my respects. Please let me know if you need anything. All my best to you and Kevin's kids.
Love,
Stacy

I am so sorry for your loss, what a wonderful human being God put in your lives and I can only say that my heart hurts for not staying in closer contact with Kevin and you Lynn. I enjoyed our times together very much. Going over to Dunkins will never be the same for me not seeing Kevin sitting outside with Buddy! His eyes shined from his smile. You will be in my prayers.

We'll see ye on the other side, brother.

To the Jones Family from the Doyle Family.
We were shocked and deeply saddened by your loss of Kevin. He was a good friend and well liked by so many.
Bob thought the world of both Kevin and Billy. Jean, you raised two wonderful boys who grew to be wonderful gentlemen. You should be very proud.
We hope you all as a family find some solace in knowing this, and in each other.
Kevin will never be forgotten. Live, Love and Laugh in memory of him.
Our most sincere condolences, the Doyle Family.

Dear Lynn and family,
Words can not express my deepest sympathy to all of you. My heart bleeds for all of you. The news was hard to consume as I'm sure to everyone who knew and loved Kevin.
In a time like this where pain and hurt will consume your heart, try to think of the great memories you all had. In time the crying and the pain will ease and there will be laughter. Life will go on and it will get easier. It sucks right now and maybe I shouldn't write that here but those are the only words that can describe it.
Remember the moments of the magnet, the rides we took on the bike, when he would drive around in a circle to see if Bill would be gullible to follow and he was. Remember the times in Aruba, the painting of Pat's nails and trying to get Bill when he was passed out. Always remember the time at Igrid's and the people from NY and the DAWG dinner you had...see, thinking of the good times and laughing will heal the heart. Kevin would want you to all live and continue to laugh.
Kevin will never be forgotten and I believe he will be with you in spirit.
Lynn, I love you and I'm here if you need anything at all.
Your Friend and Deepest Condolences,
Jackie MacArthur

Dear Lynn, Brian, Billy, Michelle, family and friends,
No words can express how sad I am about the loss of Kevin. He was a great friend and I will always carry a piece of him with me everyday. Kevin will truly be missed but never forgotten. You will always be in my heart I love you all!

Lynn (and family)
I am so sorry for your loss. I don't even know where to begin or what to say to you. I don't think anything can be said that will help make you feel any differently right now. Your world has somewhat changed forever.
I hope that by knowing how much others really care, help you through this difficult time. I'm sure he will be missed by anybody lucky enough to have had the pleasure of meeting him (even just once!!)
I am so glad I had the privilege of knowing Kevin. You both opened your home (and the pool) to us and were always so cheerful about life. I'll always be grateful for your hospitality. He was such a kind and caring person. Just simply unique. He had a way with kids and people. I'll always remember the look on AJ's face when he got her to go off the board for the first time. She was so young - he was so shocked - and they were both so proud! Lots of fun, and good memories that remain with me forever.
I hope the happy memories and special moments you shared will remain as vivid tomorrow as they were yesterday. And I hope all those precious moments will someday replace the sadness in your heart with a loving smile.
I truly believe you never lose the ones that you love. A piece of Kevin will be with you always, and I'm sure he took a piece of you with him as well.
You're in my thoughts and prayers.
With love,
Gina

To Billy, Lynn, Doreen, family and friend,
I was so sad to hear about Kevin. Please know that I am thinking about you all. I know nothing I say can ease your pain. Just know that he is at peace and in good company. God always takes the good ones.
I love you and miss you all

Dear Jones/Murphy Family,
You've been like an extended family to me throughout the years! I LOVE you ALL and feel blessed to have had you all in my life. I'm finding some comfort in all the Wonderful memories we've all shared throughout the years. I hope they will help to comfort you all as well. Here's one of my favorites...
I can still hear Kevin's laughter as he and Colin told the story of the duck, we found in my parents woods, on the way back from one of the infamous Island Parties.
Kevin and Colin brought "the poor homeless thing" home to Mom and Dad Jones's.
Thinking no one would notice, they "cleverly hid" it under a box in the middle of the living room floor. Then decided that wasn't a good idea, cuz you could hear it throughout the house. They decided it would probably be better off in its own environment anyway, so at about 1:30 in the morning, they filled the bathtub, and moved their new found pet in.
You can imagine the rest...
Exactly, it introduced itself to a "sleep walking to the bathroom" Mrs. Jones, in its native "QUACK".
Oh my God, I never realized how long you could extend the names Kevvvvvvvinnnnnnnnn and Colllllllinnnnnnnnnn!!!
I hope this shared memory brings a smile to all your faces and hearts, like it does mine.
I LOVE you ALL and feel truly blessed to have been able to share so much of life with all of you.
God Bless!
Love,
Grace

Dear Lynn,
there are no words to express how sad I am over the loss of such a wonderful person. I know I didn't get to see him often but I still had a special place for him in my heart as part of our family. I remember when we used to go out for dinner when Robert and I first met and how much fun we had at SeaWorld when you visited us. I am sorry I cannot be there but my heart and spirit are there with you during this emotional time. Treasure forever the beautiful memories of your beloved Kevin. I love you. Pat

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
I am SO sorry for your loss, Kevin is now your angel watching over all of you
xoxo

To all of the family and friends of Kevin,
I am so so sorry for your loss. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. We sure had a lot of fun with Kevin, as kids, growing up together. I hope God looks out for him! At least he has his dad up there with him.
