Kevin~I've known you ever since I was born. We were like an older brother to me and we fought just like siblings as well. Isn't it so strange how things turn out. Your mom and dad were my second parents. We shared a lot of good memories together and some not so good. You were loved Kevin and will be deeply missed.
