Mr. B,

It is hard to believe how quickly the passage of time flies by. We missed you on the 4th of July and I hope one of the lanterns we sent up to the Heavens reached you....on the anniversary of your passing the day before, you and the whole family remained in my thoughts and prayers. The 4th is never the same without your crazy antics, excitement, sarcasm, wit and ability to always be the life of the party but neither are a lot of things. We will all always treasure the memories and the good times and hold them tight close to our hearts until we all join you one day in the kingdom of heaven. I am sure you loved the show this year, you taught the boys well and I know you got a good chuckle out of the tubing mishap. We love you and miss you most this time of year.
"When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure."
Please keep looking down and watching over all of us especially Mrs. B, the boys and Samantha. You will never be forgotten and I send my love and prayers for you to the Heavens today and every day.

Love,

Ash

I will miss my uncle/Godfather Kevin. He and my aunt Mary were there for me very often when I was younger. And recently, even, when my son was hospitalized it was uncle Kev and aunt Mary that helped us by taking in our youngest for a week so we could stay at the hospital. I will always remember you, uncle Kevin, rest in peace. Love, jenny
