Dear Mike and family, I was so saddened when I heard about your loss. I always smiled when you and Kevin would kid with each other at the cleaners. You could really see the bond you two shared. It was so obvious to me how much you two loved each other. I always enjoyed our little chats about our sons. Mike, I cannot begin to imagine your family's pain and sorrow at this time. Know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. What a tribute this memory book is to Kevin. You and Mary can be so proud of the terrific son you raised. I too will always remember his smile.

I did not know Kevin personally but I knew of him and how special he was to the people who he surrounded himself with. It is very sad that he had to go at such a young age. I want to send my prayers out to the family and friends of this champion. He was one of a kind...touching so many lives. Anyone who brightened soo many people just by being around, making someone smile just by smiling at them, giving others life and strength even after they are gone...is truly an ANGEL. Hopefully I will have the opportunity to personally meet you when I get there, Ill need someone to make me smile! Fly High while looking low; watch over and guide us. RIP Kevin-Your amazing and will be dearly missed.

Mary (and family);
I met you only a few weeks back at the nail shop and you left an impression on me that I will never forget. You are a kind & gentle person and I could have talked to you for hours. What really hit me was the conversation we were having that night about your "boys" and how nice they were. You beamed with pride! I can now see that Kevin was a lot like you . . he left an impression on everyone he met. I cannot imagine that pain you are going through now but, after only meeting you once, I'm sure your strength and memories will see you through these hard times. Kevin will watch over you!
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers!

My Cousin Mary,
Seeing the shear sorrow and agony on your face after just seeing your bubbling, perky personality at our Ferrara Family reunion 3 weeks ago has left a mark on me that I won't soon forget. It brought to mind another Mary, who lost her son tragically, a few thousand years ago. Hopefully, your faith, family and friendships will help you get through this tremendously difficult time. Try to take a bit of comfort in knowing that Kevin was a wonderful son and certainly didn't lack for friends as shown by the outpouring at his services. Such a sad time, but you had to feel pride.
Please extend my sympathy to Mike, Mark and Kristy.
Love,
Patty (Ferrara) Cooke

September 30, 2006

The world appears to have lost all sense when the young need to die before the old. Of awesome cruelty is it when the young robbed are from us by accidents of "chance;" for which there can never be any understanding and the harder we try to do so the the more difficult the question becomes and dissolves into dense black mystery. But maybe in His Mercy he may let us come to terms with this weight which we will carry unto the end of our time. And when we accept these terms it will change us in ways that will give us the power to save the world.

Dear Michael, Mary, Mark and Kristy,
I never had the pleasure of meeting Kevin yet his passing has touched me deeply. I have experienced the heartbreak of tragically losing a young friend. The massive outpouring of support at Kevin's visiting hours was a tremendous tribute to him. It literally stopped traffic throughout the town of Walpole. In the difficult times ahead, I hope you can find peace in knowing all the lives Kevin touched. My deepest condolences to all of you.

Dear Flaherty Family,
I give you all my deepest sympathies. For the brief time i knew Kevin he was full of energy as well had a very positive outlook on life. Kevin was a great kid who made everyone around him a better person, even though he has passed away he will live through our prayers, hearts and thoughts everyday.

To Michael, Mary, Mark and Kristy

I met your family a long time ago while I was working at Centre Cleaners. I could tell back then that you all had a special bond with eachother. When I heard about Kevin's passing...I was crushed. You're all good people and it never makes sense when something like this happens. We may be strangers now, but please know that my thoughts are with you. If you need anything, ANYTHING AT ALL, you can reach me through Doug Mead.

To the Flaherty family:

If there is one thing that seems to come up in conversation with everybody, it's that your son had the most amazing magnetic personality and a smile that you couldn't help but be captivated by. So often people walk around campus so caught up in their own lives that they don't even make eye contact with one another, but I can remember passing Kevin so many times and always seeing such a warm welcoming smile. Although I was only an acquaintance, I have heard so many stories of how Kevin was the kind of person who could make you laugh when nothing was funny. He truly had an amazing impact on the Lasell community and we were all so lucky to have been a part of his life-- no matter how large or small. You are all in my thoughts and my prayers...

Jonathan Lodge

ya know its funny the way life is. Kevin and I grew up together and not the best of ways. he didnt treat me all that great but in the end I had to go to the wake tonight. it was tougher than I thought. I broke down. he will always be remembered. I know that of everyone to sign this had a positive relationship with him but coming to see him and how many lives he touched tonight really and truly let me in. FINALLY I got to see who he was. I felt a friendship. so Thank you Kevin for being who u were and makin me what I am today. Peace and Love

His spirit will remain an inspiration to me and he will always be in my heart...always. I love you guys SO MUCH!! XOXOX

I'll forever miss that amazing smile. I'll be seein' ya pal. And don't forget, we have a date on the Bunny Glades.

I met your son a little over a year ago @ one of the "Gilmore" Family parties (Karen and Bobo's niece's graduation). He had a great sense of humor and we had many laughs. I remember thinking what a great kid and such a gentleman! My heart goes out to you and your family for your loss. May the memories of the love and laughter you shared throughout his life comfort you. Know that in his short life, how many lives he touched by just being the wonderful person that he was! God Bless you and keep you and your family in His loving care.

Dear Flaherty Family,
I am very sorry for your loss. Kevin was a very dear friend of mine. He lived just upstairs from me in our house last year, and I couldnt have asked for a better housemate. I thank God everyday for the time I spent with him and I will always cherish the friendship we had. He was a truly wonderful friend, his smile was contagious and he could always make me laugh. I've never met a person who was more enjoyable to be with and I only wish I could have spent more time with him. Again I am sorry for your loss. I wish there was something I could do for you. You will be in my prayers.

Mary, Mike, Mark, Kristy,
We are so sorry for your loss. I can picture Kevin as a little boy with that little impish grin, toe in the sand, caught in the act with his head tilted to the side looking up at you. How could you not smile right back and say it's ok Kevin but don't do it again! Just thinking about him still makes me smile. His presence was special even back then. I regret that I did know him as a man. We are praying for you, may God give you comfort.
Love,

I feel so privileged to know Kevin. I always admired his sense of humor and brave spirit. He could always turn a room around with his smile. My sympathies to the entire Flaherty family and loving friends.

To Kevin – I wish I knew the right words to say, but I don’t. You probably never knew how many people loved and cared for you. I’ll mention that to you again when I see you next . . .
