Kevin was such a sweet guy, always gave me a hug and asked how I was doing every time I saw him. I would get text from him letting me where the next Celebration for Melinda's Birthday was going to be. Melinda loved him unconditionally and will miss him terriably. Melinda's Son David loved Kevin and too will miss him:(.
Kevin and I enjoying the serenity of the Keys! What I wouldn't give to go back to this moment! Kevin, I love and miss you so much!
