Kevin, what can I said that everyone hasn't said already. You are missed and we will always remember your kind heart. We can honor you simply by trying to live our daily lives by your example. We need to be kind to one another and truly listen when people need to be heard. Sometimes just listening and not saying a word is the best gift we can give someone. Thanks for the time we had walking and talking when you were preparing for the 3 day walk. It was a pleasure to walk beside you.
