Mitch and Phyllis - Hearts are broken all over Norfolk due to Kirk's passing. A short glance at his Facebook page is testimony to that fact. A fine young man, who always brought cheer and smiles everywyhere he went - he will be missed so much, by so many.

We wish you peace and the healing powers of God's grace.
