My heart goes out to the entire Tea family. Lorraine and Randal, you shared your beautiful son with the world and WOW, how beautiful he made his world. His smile and heart were as big as Texas. Heaven is more gorgeous because Kevin is there arranging all the flowers. Lord, Thank you so much for putting Kevin in my life's path. Kevin, my children loved playing basketball with you and talking to you while we were out in Salt Lake years ago. You were the first Eagle Scout I had ever known. I'd never been to a Mormon Missionary's Homecoming, until yours. I still remember that day. You were so full of the Holy Spirit and so eager to spread His word and the word of the Book of Mormon. I loved listening to you. I was so lucky to have gotten to teach with your mom and therefore meeting and drawing in and loving her children. What a family you were born into. To the Tea Family, I pray that you hold onto the pieces of Kevin's heart and legacy and that those memories you shared with him, stay fresh on your minds.
My condolences to the entire Tea family.
