Kevin and Family,
I was very sorry to hear of your loss. I know that words can't express how much your brother will be missed, but remember that your memories together will live forever in your heart.

Fran, You will never be forgotten. I have so many memories of us all. What a great class and group of friends we had - so much fun (which always included you). You were a real light and will always have a special place in my heart and memories. Thank you for all the great times and for your smile, warm heart and fun spirit and generous nature. You taught us all the most important things about life and even now as we look back and remember your life and our times together your example continues to teach us - and will always. You will never be forgotten Fran.
