KEVIN J. WALSH M.D.

We've all lost Kevin much too soon, especially all his nieces and nephews who he loved so much. He spoke often of his family, who kept him young and on his toes. We communicated only via internet of late, but I once saw him regularly, to talk about those English mysteries he couldn't get enough of. He delighted on finding an author I didn't know. Sweet, adorable boy.

Kevin was a wonderful pediatric ER doctor and I always loved speaking with him on the phone when I sent one of my patients to him. I was always so glad when he was working and would be the physician treating my patient---he had great clinical judgement, and he was always smiling and laughing and glad to hear from me! I have missed working with him since he left Metrowest, and will continue to miss him. My condolences to his family. Deb Gfeller, MD Holliston Pediatrics

So sorry to hear of Kevin's death. He was a fabulous physician, so warm and personable and generous with his time and expertise. When I would send one of my patients in to the ED I was always so happy to hear if Kevin was the ED physician who was going to be caring for the patient! A wonderful doctor and a great colleague.

I am very sad to hear about Kevin's passing. He was a wonderful ER doctor and I often heard good things about patients' and parents' experiences with him. I always felt comfortable that my patients would receive excellent care and he always had such a positive and helpful attitude. He will be missed. My condolences to his family and friends.

I was very saddened to hear of Kevin's passing. As a community pediatrician referring patients to Framingham Union Hospital emergency room I had many conversations with Kevin. He was incredibly helpful and always enjoyable to talk with. He was a really nice guy and great doctor. My condolences to all of his loved ones.

I am saddened to hear of Kevin's passing. As a pediatrician in the community, Kevin was always incredibly helpful when I referred patients to the Framingham Union Hospital emergency room and was always fun to talk with. Kevin was a really nice guy. My condolences to his family and friends.

I am sadden by this news of Kevin's passing.i worked with him many years in the ER at Framingham union Hospital.He was a great Dr but most of all he was a great person.!!RIP Kevin ,gone but never forgotten.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
