I was very saddened to hear that Kevin had died yesterday. I am a student from St. Marys school where Kevin attended. I looked forward to seeing Kevin every week when he would come to the GEMs club with his mom to pick up Janice. Our school sold PUSH bracelets which stands for Pray Until Something Happens and there was a mix up and I got a FROG bracelet instead which stands for Fully Rely On GOD and I was really happy to get that. I still wear that bracelet today and I will always remember Kevin for these bracelets. Jullian and family

Dear Ripley family, you do not know me but I work with Eileen Stackpole, and my sister Julie works for Hydro. I have been keeping up to date on Kevin and have said my own little prayer for him and all of you. Nine months ago we lost a very important member of our family too to this selfish disease, and understand the pain you are feeling. I just wanted to let you know that others you don't even know are thinking of you in this time of sorrow.
