To the Tinsley Family:
I just heard about Kevin's passing and wish to express my heartfelt sympathy to the family. Kevin and I went to school and played Linden Eagles football together. He was such a pleasant person and always so much fun to be around. I will cherish my memories of Kevin with fondness. I pray God's blessing on the Tinsley family to ease your pain and sorrow throughout your period of grief.

The Tinsley Family,
Our heart felt thoughts and prayers are with you all. I was proud to have Kevin as a cousin and when I saw him which, was not often; he would smile and ask about everyone. He will always be in our hearts and it will be a comfort to reflect on the good times.
“We are confident, [I say], and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.”
