Dear Beville Family,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss, I only wish that I would've found out sooner. My mother passed away the day before Kevin, so I know how hard all of this is for you. I went to school with Kevin, I hadn't seen him since then but he was always such a good person. I actually didn't even find out about his death until I came back to work and read my emails (I work for Carilion Labs also), which was 3 weeks after my mom passed away. When I read the email I just started crying, it just makes you wonder why it always happens to the good people.
I wish you the very best and once again, I'm sorry for your loss.

Dear carol and don, this is amy. i tried leaving an audio entry 6 times but.... i failed. my family was there when kevin needed us and you all were there when i needed you. i think kevin and i were friends longer than anyone i know, well over a decade. you guys kept saying how hard this must be on me, i just hurt knowing how hard it is on you. kevin turned out to be an outstanding young man, better than we all could have wished for him, he was amazing. i'm proud of him and i miss him. and it doesn't seem real. we've all been thru so much together i hope we can stay intouch. i hope you were proud and understood him. he would have wanted that. he was like my brother, but he was your son and your lucky to have had that opportunity to be that for him. and he did love you, very very much.

Carol, Don, & Jaimie,
I kept thinking the words would be easier if I waited. Time waits for no one and I have found time does not make the situation easier, it allows us to adjust. I cannot even begin to express my deepest sympathies. I remember from the beginning when Kevin was born and how very excited one specific woman was and how excited everyone was for you, Carol. I know that over the years there have never been better parents than the two of you. God, in his infinite wisdom, chose the two of you to love Kevin and be there for him. What a wonderful gift you were to him as well as him being God's perfect gift to you! Know I continue to think of you and wish you well during this challenging time. Jaimie, I lost my brother in a car accident and can relate to what you are going through at this time. Brothers are those special people that only sisters love in a very special way no matter what! I shall always remember Kevin as a very young one in a very colorful ski jacket and his goggles!!! What a wonderful memory of a handsome young man! My deepest regards and affection to all of you.

Dear BeVille Family
Even though I am sorry, I know it can’t help in a time like this. I would like to say that after living with Kevin for 3 years and being his friend for almost 10, he has impacted my life greatly. I feel I would not be the person I am today, without ever knowing him, and for that I will always love him. I would also like to thank you for having such a terrific son that impacted my life in such a positive way. My deepest condolence goes out to you.

Dear Don and Family,
You will hear so many times "I'm sorry for your loss" and each offering will all be heartfelt. We have little else to offer but our sympathy, our prayers for your family, Christian love and concern. It is good that so many of our class are reaching out to you. Your son must have been very special and how wonderful that you had Kevin in your lives. You have been most blessed.
The roller coaster of emotion that will remain with you for some time will not be easy and I am so sorry you have to walk this road. May the peace of our Lord be with you.

Dear Carol & Don, words fail at times like this. Kevin was such a special young man and such a joy to be around. He and Stephen were such good friends as youngsters and I have good memories of Kevin. He was on my OM team and I especially remember the year he did the "jackelope" for us when we competed at Va. Tech - what fun that was. I am so sorry for your great loss. I pray that God will comfort you as only he can do and that you will find peace and healing.

We are completely sadded by your loss of Kevin. We will surely keep you in prayer during this time. A sweet memory I have of Kevin makes me smile.. we had stopped at your house after work to pick something up.. and out he came.. he had colored his hair with kool-aid! That had to be 12 years or so ago. Such a great kid.. such a great loss. Much love and many prayers to you all.

Dearest Don, Carol, and Jamie,
I am in shock and greatly saddened by the news of your loss. Kevin Lee was my son's apartment mate. I enjoyed the stories my son shared with me about their living together and how well they got along. Kevin said that Kevin Lee was the best roommate he had ever had. I recall a time I came to the apartment with some articles of Kevin's that needed to be moved into the apartment and Kevin Lee was kind enough to offer to help cart the items up the stairs from my vehicle. He was such a handsome, helpful individual.
I am beside myself regarding your loss and offer my thoughts of comfort...and hope that you realize that others knew your beloved Kevin, too.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. Even though it has been years since I have seen you all, (Aqua Net and Byrd) I had continued to see Kevin through the years. He was so very very special to us all. IF words could only help in these times I would give them all to you three. Our love and prayers do not seem enough, but always remember how much he touched so many lives and for my family he was truly sent from God. He was such a wonderful human that I personally am greatful to have had in my life. For somone so young he had so much wisdom to share. God Bless You

Carol and Don: Kevin worked for my husband, Archie, at McNeil Roofing. He also worked with and was a good buddy of my son Josh Serreno. Archie and I lost Josh and his brother, Justin, last year in a car accident. We were so, so saddened to hear about Kevin. Archie was just telling me last week about how cool he thought it was that Kevin was going to Snow Shoe to work the winter. For Kevin, we know he is in a better place, for you, his parents, we are sorry for the pain we know you have.

Don, Carol, and Jaime I don't have words to express my sadness over your loss. I've learned that there are tragic occurrences that happen in our lives and most often I don't understand why. My peace has come from knowing that God knows and takes care of all of us in all stages of our lives and continues to after our death. I don't need to have the answers for everything just the knowledge that God is taking care of it. Hold on tight to the Lord.

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.
With much love and many prayers...

It is very tragic to see one so young have their life cut short by time and unforeseen circumstances. (Eph. 9:11) My heart goes out to the family for your loss. The sorrow you feel right now can be endured by relying on God's loving comfort he brings from the scriptures. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4)
As a former businessman of Vinton, I feel it is important to share Bible truths with people under all circumstance. May your comfort come from the words above.
