Our deepest sympathy to all of the family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you!
We are stunned to hear of Kevin’s passing! He will be deeply missed by all of us who knew him and loved him. He was a wonderful cousin and we shared many experiences in life and visits to our house with him as our children were growing up. We are happy to have had the time together through the family picnics and the bluegrass music we all shared as a family even as short as time was for us all to be with Kevin.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the family at this time of sadness.
Kevin will be greatly missed but his love for Bluegrass music and family will always be in our hearts and memories FOREVER!
Love and Blessings to all -
Maggy I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. I am here if you need me. Alot of time has passed since our school days as best friends but if you need me call 802-447-1074. I only met Kevin in the grocery store but you really seemed like you were so happy. Always in my heart and prayers. Love ya
I’m so sorry to hear of your untimely passing Kevin. I wish I would have written to you long before now….it makes me realize how important it is to stay in touch with those you care about. Life is literally day to day so we need to grab hold and enjoy every minute!
“You can shed tears that he is gone,
or you can smile because he has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he’ll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all he’s left.
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see him,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him only that he is gone,
or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what he’d want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.”
