My heart and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Love runs so deep. Unexpected losses of loved ones, so unfair, with a pain like none other. Yet, our Lord has His plans, for his reasons, we can not yet understand. Only learn to Live and Love the best we can. Time Does bring relief, for this I know, yet it will stay with us the rest of Our days. Kevin was a wonderful man with a heart of gold. I absolutely will miss
