Kathy & My Family
Kevin just had his first birthday in heaven and knowing he is with God, I will smile. I think of him every day, warm and happy thoughts of our childhood years being his older brother. (by 13 months) Kevin was and always will be a happy and forgiving soul. To work hard and live life as full and happy as possible every day would be the best way to describe the way Kevin lived and walked thru life. He leaves a big hole in our hearts and family, I pray that with Gods help as a family we will remain close till we are with Kevin again. Love and Miss you Kevin, Ken.

Kathy I just called the office to talk to you and heard the horrible news, and believe me I re-acted accordingly. I am in such a state of utter-disbelief I cannot tell you. My love and prayers go out to you and your family. I wish there was something I could do for you, but I also know that there is nothing that can ease the shock and pain. Time, I guess? My Love to you

I worked with Kevin at Bulley & Andrews. He was one of the most kind people I have met. I was shocked to learn of his medically forced retirement a couple of years ago. I'm very saddened that The Lord called him home so soon. My heart and prayers go out to his family.
