Not sure what to say?

Dear Sandra, Kathy and family,
I've learned that Kevin was a very special man. We send our deepest sympathy to you.

Dear Hamel Family,
I am very saddened about his passing.I worked with Kevin at the Holyoke Health Center and also babysat Brendan,Patrick and Jack back in '97. He always made us laugh and he will always be in my heart. My prayers go out to the family.

To the Hamel family. Just returned from overseas to learn of Kevin's passing. Kevin was a valued colleague and a trusted friend. I will miss him.

I knew Kevin as kids kicking around Holyoke in the 70's and early 80's as we would visit from New Jersey for the summer. We had great times in those days, walking to Holyoke Mall (it was brand new then!), playing baseball and kickball in the park with all the neighborhood kids. They are some of my fondest memories. I considered him and Danny O'Neill as my "best friends" from Holyoke, as kids do. I was shocked and saddened to hear of his passing, but happy to hear that he touched so many lives...

I was so terribly sorry to read of Kevin's passing today in Hello Holyoke. Althougth it was short, it was a beautiful life. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Sandra, Brendan,Patrick, Jack, and Grace:

Suzanne and I were very saddened to learn of Kevin's death.

Kevin was a good friend and one of the most positive and energetic people I've met.

I admired him for those qualities and for the great way he had as a father.

I'm going to miss him and will always remember him warmly.

Our Condolences to each of you and to all of Kevin's loved ones.

Mike

Dear Sandra,
My thoughts and prayers to you and the children in your time of sadness and sorrow. I remember Kevin as a dear, sweet man, always with a smile and some way to get a laugh out of you. Remember him coming into our office and teasing you by singing that "Sonia Dada" song that always played on WRNX? I believe you two saw the band at the Taste of Amherst one year. I have that CD and whenever I hear the song I always think of the two of you. You guys were so great together, and...

To the Hamel and Marsian Family. Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss.

To all the Hamels: We have cherished and wonderful memories of summer vacations on Willow Street. Kevin delivered the Transcript and my aunts were crazy about all you kids. Kevin's smile would light up a room and he was a sweet and dear boy. I am not surprised at what he accomplished in such a brief life. Our family is deeply saddened by your loss even though we have not been in contact for many years. We send heartfelt sympathies and love to you all. Mary, Billy, Carol, Peter, James,...
