My thoughts and prayers are with the McCabe family. Though I am so from the past I have always had your wonderful family in my thoughts throughout the years. Although my relationship with your family began with my friendship with Jackie, and being the biggest groupie of the ELASTIC BAND, I became very friendly with Kevin. I did not have the pleasure of knowing Kevin as an adult, but as a teenager, he was funny, sensitive, smart, caring, a great friend and one of the nicest boys I have ever known. Kevin has always and will always have a special place in my heart.
