Sue, Kevin, Matt, Kelly & Mike:
When I think of the Dukester, this brought me some comfort. I hope it may bring some to you as well.
"IF LOVE ALONE COULD HAVE SAVED YOU, YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE DIED.
In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a special place no one can ever fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone.
For a part of us went with you the day God called you home".

With condolences, prayers, much love and light to you all,
K, P, C and L

I am very saddened to hear of Kevin's passing. My daughter Kali was in the Young Adult Program at Roswell with Kevin along with her husband Matt. I know how much Kevin meant to both of them. Through them I got to know Kevin. His speech at the START line at the Ride for Roswell was so very powerful and endearing. What a exceptional young man. May I extend my very deepest condolences to Kevin's family. Jackie Mordaunt

Dear Kelly - Words can't express the sorrow I feel for you with the loss of your brother, Kevin. I can't imagine the pain you are enduring and can only hope the fond memories of him will be of comfort to you. I am sorry I cannot be at his Mass, but certainly will be thinking of you.
I think of you (and you fifth grade class) often as you will always be dear to my heart. You were a very special group.
Please extend my sincere sympathy to your parents and Matthew. You are all in my prayers.
Love, Mrs. Hallett
