Jimmy, Mary, and family: Today I learned of Kevin's passing, and my heart is aching for all of you during this terrible loss. Our sons were at Harmony together, and if I am not mistaken, they were also in Boy Scouts at the same time. Michael has always had great respect for Kevin, as Kevin demonstrated such great love and care for others, impeccable manners, and was one of the sweetest children one could hope to get to know. I will never forget our attending the Billy Graham crusade years ago. Although our hearts are heavy, I trust that Kevin has received his promotion to a kingdom greater than our imaginations can conceive. His eternal joy in the presence of Jesus far exceeds the best our finite minds can fathom. May God hold you close in His loving arms, give you peace, and bring us all together again.

Jimmy and Mary, I am so sorry to learn about Kevin's passing. I still think of him as a little boy coming into Clara's for his pancake. My thoughts and prayers are with you. "Patti Mabrey Holland, Willis, Tx.
