To the Family and Friends of Kevin Sullivan,

I offer my deepest condolences to you all. Kevin was a wonderful Husband, Father, Family Member and Friend. We often chatted about his family and religion. He helped me through some very difficult times. To this I say, Thank God for people like him. I know he will be missed by everyone that knew him...but he will remain in our heart forever. Please know that Kevin is OK. God will take care of him now. If ever a friend that will be missed, Kevin is that person.

Nevia - Kevin loved you - I know this because he always told me so (he talked about you every day)....May Jehovah continue to take care of you and yours.

I'm so sorry Chad and I aren't able to be there for the services. We're thinking very much of all of you. Grandma is also thinking very much of Kevin these days, sharing lots of stories of him growing up in Savin Hill. She's sad she isn't able to make the trip but please know she is thinking of all of you and wishes that she could be there. Take care.
