We want to offer our sympathy to all of you. My mother often mentioned that she and Kevin shared the same birthday. She thought that gave them a special bond. God Bless You. Bill McCauley and Evelyn Bateman.

Dear Tad and Jean

I just read this notice and remember my mother always giving Kevin a big hug and saying that they shared the same birthday. She will watch out for him until you get there. We have a 10 year old granddaughter who is just as precious as Kevin. She didn't walk until she was 4, the day after I blessed her with a relic of St. Theresa. She still does not talk nor know how to use the toilet, but she is beautiful and a joy and a worry to us all but especially her parents. I know how hard it is. We just keep praying. Love, Dorothy Flood
