To the McFadden Family,

My heart is still heavy as I write this. Brother McFadden was the sounding board when you needed it. The encourager when you felt as if you couldn’t and the helper if, or when he saw the need. I will miss his smile and hugs ( you felt as if he meant each one). Know that you are in our hearts and prayers during this time and days to come.

The Pleasant Girls,
Darling, Journey and Naomi

To: Sister Bridget McFadden, and Family,

We are saddened by the passing of your loved one.

We remember Bro. McFadden driving for G.P.T.C. and the Carter Memorial C.M.E. Church Van Ministry. He transported for your entrepreneurship, "A Taste of Heavenly Desserts," for churches, church conferences, and people in his "consecrated car" - what a ministry!

We will remember him for his kindness. He truly was a people's person.

Remember that God said,

"I will "NEVER" leave thee, nor forsake thee." Hebrews 13:5b KJV

May God continue to strengthen and keep you all in His care.

Love & Prayers,

Nina Peterson

My Condolences to the Family of Kevin!

I haven’t seen Kevin’s since we graduated from Horace Mann (Mighty Class of ‘79).
We have known each other since middle school at Froebel! This is so heartbreaking. Had so much fun and he was always a joy to be around.
Until we meet again, RIP my brother.

Bridget,
You and your family are in my prayers. Kevin was one of my 1st friends when I started attending Jefferson Elementary school in the 4th grade. It was a group of us that went to Jefferson then to Frobel for Jr. High school and on to Horace Mann. We graduated in the Mighty Class of 1979!!! Kevin had a kind heart and a good spirit. We remained friends forever!!! Kevin will be missed. May he Rest in Heaven. Bridget, I pray that you and your family find comfort in the many great memories that you have of Kevin. God Bless Your Family!!!

Kevin with his great smile and sense of humor. He never failed to let me know when his church was selling dinners, when he was going to make a popcorn run nor when he would be downstairs with slices of cake. The years that we worked together, he never changed, always had that same spirit. I'll miss Kevin but knowing he's at peace, no more suffering and has taken his place in heaven, probably running things. God is in Control.

March 22, 2021

I will miss my friend! May God grant Kevin’s family understanding and peace during this time.
