My thoughts and my heart are extended to loved ones survived by Kevin. I was not very close with Kevin however I have known Kevin for 18 years and have always admired his loyalty and dedication to his family and friends. It is not money that brings you wealth it is your family and friends in which to count your riches by. May peace be with you Kevin.

I'm glad we kept in touch all these years and I'm glad you had a chance to meet my son and husband. I'm sorry I couldn't be there today to pay my respects, but rest assured, I am there in spirit. Rest in peace man, I love you.
