Uncle Kevin, I know its been months since you physically left, but spiritually, through blood, and memories, we have so much to share. I think about you all the time, even though we had our times, they don't out number the good times. I shed some sort of laugh or tear for you regularly, and o how I wish I could crack a joke with you, talk sports, movies, or music. I know I can, but it's just not the same. I just want to thank you again for playing the role as my uncle, friend, advisor, and father figure. I love you until the end of time.

Signing your neice, god-daughter, and BIg Ol Apple Head!!!!
