It has happened
Although I cant believe
He is gone forever
And we are left to grieve
The pain in my heart
Almost too much to bear
I still turn around looking
but you are not there
My best friend is gone
Yes he was my brother
the greatest guy I have known
comparable to no other!
All those memories
So many times gone by
He has left us
I do not know why
Something missing forever
A piece is not there
The puzzle left unfinished
Almost too much to bear
I care for kevin
With all of my love
My missing brother
Who watches from above
At rest now so far from here
His pain is gone
But he is still near
He is always with us
Yes you and me
Forever and always
Now he is free

Anne,
I was saddened when I read Kevin's announcement in today's Times Colonist.
I was in the Royal Jubilee Hospital at the same time as Kevin (Nov 7-18, 2007) and I often think of you both.
For the longest time I carried my "Healing Angel" in my pocket wherever I went.
You and Kevin helped make my time in the hospital bearable.
My heart goes out to you and your family.
Sincerely,
