Aunt Pattie,
We were so sad to hear of Uncle Kevin's passing. Our most heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire family.
We remember Uncle Kevin fondly - the way he was always cheerful and how infectious that was to those around him. We were always lauging when Uncle Kevin was 'in the house'!
May your memories bring you peace.
Love, Larry & Debbie Keller
