I am going to miss Kelvin so much. I still can't believe he is gone its so unreal. I had just talked to him and hours later he is gone. Me and my daughter will miss him sooooo much. I am going to miss the calls checking on us and just being Kelvin. He didn't let anything get in his way of being a hard working man. I am just going to really miss him a lot. I am praying for his family.
