To the Stock family,
What a shock to hear of Kevins passing. Our son Greg went to grade school with Kevin. We remember him as a polite, sweet boy "an old soul", He was always fun to have around.
We can't imagine the pain you are going through, but the Lord has a plan for us all, and with His help we will survive.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers, God Bless
Greg and Jeanene Flint and Family
