Dear Eve and Family,

My deepest condolences to you and your family. My family's thoughts and prayers are with you doing this time. Kenyon was an outstanding Naval officer and I was proud to have served with him. My proudest moment was helping him achieve the Information Warfare Officer Pin he so richly deserved.

Dearest Eve,

Words can not express how we feel about your loss. We are very fond of all of you and hold you very dear to our heart. Vineet and I have such pleasant memories from the time when we met, unbelievably about 10 years ago. We were all so carefree, happy and enjoyed each others company very much. Kenyon was such a jovial, friendly, outgoing guy with a very big heart. We were privileged to witness your love for each other and then taking the next step of having a family together. I will write a separate letter to the kids so they may open that one day and learn of the fun times we had with their mom and dad. Please let us know if we can help in any way. We would love to be there for you during this difficult time.

Lots of hugs,

Anita, Vineet, Anya & Maya

Dearest Eve - we were sorry and saddened to hear this news. I feel so fortunate to have gotten to know you and your husband recently. I appreciated both of your insights and compassion toward me, and I was struck by his generous heart. Taylor wrote Savannah a card last night, and I echo her sentiment that Kenyon will live forever in your hearts, and I add, the many, many hearts and lives that he touched. Please take exquisite care of yourself at this time.
Love and hugs,

I will always remember Kenyon for only having one tape in his car on a weekend trip to the beach. I can still hear The Cure 'Staring at the Sea' playing in its entirety over and over again in my head and Kenyon singing every song at the top of his lungs....and it always brings a smile to my face.

My thoughts and prayers to his family.

With heartfelt condolences,

Mrs. Anderson,

You and your family have my sincerest condolences. Your husband took the time to send me some items of comfort while I'm deployed and it meant so much to have those things. A very kind man.

Dear Ms. Anderson and Family,

I am so very sorry for your loss. I had the great good fortune to work with Kenyon for several years in the Missile Defense Agency. Kenyon was the rare combination of high technical talent, brimming with new ideas and advanced computer applications to support the mission, coupled with good humor and a distinct caring for his workmates. He was a doer, a teacher, and a leader. Our Agency missed him immediately, and his absence has been noted daily. Our work experience must be only a mere shadow to the loss your family is enduring with his passing. I hope the Grace of God and the prayers and well-wishes of friends and family will sustain you in the months and years to come.

Dear Eve -- I am very very sad and sorry for your loss. Kenyon was one of a kind!! We worked together for many years, but he was more than a coworker, he was a very good friend – I will miss his wisdom, kindness, energy, smile – and his handshake. God bless you and the kids. Let me know if there is anything at all I can do for you.
