Dear Mrs. Kevorkian and Family,
I was saddened to read of Mr. Kevorkian's passing. I remember how much he enjoyed playing tennis at Mt. Anthony Country Club on warm summer evenings after work. Us "kids" would sometimes sit by and watch him play in order to try to improve on our game. He was a true gentleman. May he rest in peace.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. Trevor and Harvey's Aunt Nevarte (my mother) just passed away this June at the age of 98. She spoke so often of her family and told us wonderful stories of their youth together. My prayers and condolences to your family.
