Karen. Decades have passed since you and I attended OCC together.

I'm very sorry to hear about the loss of your brother.

I recently lost a sister of mine and as the days, weeks, months and years pass I truly feel that Kevin's soul will be with you and your family forever. Again, sorry for your loss.
