I have so many fun memories with Cait and Kevin from back in the early days after college at University of Colorado- Boulder.....Trying to find our way in the adult - post college world balancing fun times with new responsibilities. Kevin always had such a sweet and friendly personality. I loved his company. I am sorry he left us so soon. ❤
