Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. ~Philippians 4:6-7 Jackie, May you feel the loving arms of the One who will allow peace to reside in your heart, if you let Him. My love to you, Tessa and Landon.

Kevin was such a wonderful person. I will always cherish my memories with him, especially during the hurricane at Brian's wedding. :). He was so level headed and kept us all calm in our fear. Not to mention when he was match making for me and deemed the potential guy unworthy. He was so thoughtful and I will always remember the way he looked at Jackie, like she was his world. I am so sorry for your loss, you all remain in my prayers. Sending you my love.

October 20, 2014

Jackie my thoughts and prayers go out to you, Tessa, Landon and all your family. Know that you have people who love you and care about you and are here if you need us. I hope you find some comfort in knowing he is with you always and his spirit lives on. God has a new Guardian Angel and he is watching over you and the kids.

We were shocked by the death of Kevin. For us he will always be a little league "Bull" or a member of the "Blast". He was a long time friend of our son Brian. It was our pleasure to coach him with his father. God rest his soul.
