Cheryl, I can´t believe that we are coming up on thirteen years since Kevin has passed.
I´m sure that losing Kevin was very difficult for you, and our hearts go out to you. I want you to know that June and I speak about Kevin often, and I speak to so many people that worked with him and they all say the exact same thing, "kevin was such a great guy ". And everyone that knew him, loved him.
Kevin was a great friend of mine, and I miss him terribly even after thirteen years.
Cheryl, Kevin left this world a better place because of the way he lived his life and the way he treated the people around him. Kevin was a truly amazing person and we miss him so much.
Love and prayers to you and your family Cheryl.
Sincerely
Bill and June Brazeau

My condolences to all family and friends. Kevin and I roamed the halls at Doherty High School and there is many a tale to be told. At the 25th reunion I often wondered how Kevin was going to get into the XL Football Jersey he won in the raffle! Safe journey my friend on this your newest adventure.

Cheryl, Kevin & Kristine~ I am so sorry for your loss. Although I'd only known Kevin for a short time, each time that I did see or meet with him and Cheryl, they brought joy and love to the occasion. I hope you know my heart, thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time and ever after.

REMEMBER me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while, And afterwards remember, do not grieve
For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile -
Than that you should remember and be sad...
