Remembered in London by Kevin's Cousin Martin Coyle

Thinking of you, Mary Anne, on this one-year anniversary. Kevin will never be forgotten by all who know and love him. Hugs to you, dear friend.

We can't believe Kevin left us a year ago already. We still miss him and I know we always will; but we keep him alive in our hearts and our memories. Just this past Summer we toasted him at the Wisconsin State Fair, and again at Nick and Vito's a few weeks ago. We will always keep him close in our hearts. Kev, we miss you.

From the hockey games in his hallway, to the craft fairs, to the Sox games, to the numerous rounds of golf,to the Wisconsin State Fair, to the Revolutionary War re-enactments we attended together, to the quiet but fun cookouts in the back yard, we have a treasure trove of memories of the times we spent together that will keep him alive in our hearts forever. Our lives are better for having known...
