Hey uncle Kevin ! It's been a while but I guess that's how it's always been with us ..but never far away ..I am so proud that you are my godfather ! I watched and cried n smiled and thought of you ..millions of bikers rode the high ways and waved our flag stood brother to brother ..I know you were there riding with them but I really wish you were here in body not just in spirit ..I may have lost time with both my god parents but I know you and aunt Darlene are always here n in my heart ..I wish we had a little more time but I wouldn't change either of you for all of the world ! Love always your goddaughter ! Miss you so much

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
February 18, 2009
Thanks Kev,
I miss you and thanks for my visit and bringing us all together... It was the best dream ever... Love Your Little Sister From the Same Mother Brother ...

Love, Char
I know this all sounds creepy for those who really just knew Kevin....We were a nutty family so, it's cool to give feedback I can take it. Look who are my brothers.. lol

Hey Uncle Kevin today my husband came walking in the door and said damn alot of biker's moved in a house a few blocks away and all that I could think about was you. Of course they way I was raised.. so I said to him oh we'll never have a problem with those guys cause I will just let them know who my Godfather is lol. Ever since I was a little girl I always felt so safe knowing that I had you and my dad no matter how far you two were and still to this day I feel the same way thanks for always protecting me. On July 18th is my dad's big day and even though you can not make it in person I know you will be there. I love and miss you very much.

Kev,
You used to call me your angel
Said I was sent straight down from heaven
And you'd hold me close in your arms
I thought of the way you felt so strong
I never wanted you to leave
I wanted you to stay here holdin' me
I miss you
I miss your smile (It was something we had in common) ha ha ( the SMILE we both had it ) the grin from ear to ear, Our K&C family secret)
And I still shed a tear every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you
You used to call me your dreamer
And now I'm livin' out my dream
Oh, how I wish you could see
Everything that's happenin' for me
I'm thinkin' back on the past
It's true the time is flyin' by too fast
I miss you
I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear every once in a while
And even though it's different now
you're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you
I know you're in a better place
But I wish that I could see your face,
I know you're where you need to be
Even though it's not here with me
I miss you
I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you and I love you,
Love,Your little sister FFE
Love you

Hi Kevin,
Just thinking of you wishing you where here on this earth with us. Every time Lil Bit hears a Harley she still runs to the window to see if it's you. Some people say dogs don't have a long memory but Lil Bit will never forget you. Words can't express how much your missed. Love you allways. Kevin asked me to tell you he did one for you.
