Well kt its been almost a year since you left us and it seems like it was yesterday. I try to tell myself you're not in pain anymore, no more doctor trips, no more worries, and that your @peace. Well call me selfish bcuz im not at peace! Im traumatized every day by this and while they say life goes on, I don't feel it does. We were 8years apart and when I was younger I was KT's lil sister that he'd get stuck babysitting.Then I grew up and we formed a closeness, not as close as you and deb, but we still had our memories...our talks. Years would pass and our lives would take different roads,but you were always in my thoughts and I knew I was in your's. When you became sicker and ma, deb, and I went to pick you up to take you by ma'..s I prayed.O how I prayed... god please let me have time with my brother. Let me have the chance to make him well, let me be there for him! But... God had other plans and no matter how I prayed the decision was made. I hate myself for not being there. I hate myself for not being able to tell you how much I loved you and I hate myself for not being there to take care of you or take you where you needed to go. I have learned however, don't ever take your family for granted, don't ever "assume" they'll always be there, and don't ever be afraid to tell your family how much you truly truly love them. I'll forever miss you KT and my broken heart will never mend. Rest in peace..this is not good-bye, this is see ya later Love your sister Bridget

Kenny, I'll never forget our times together, and how you always liked to tell anyone who would listen about how the two of us froze our butts off every night hanging out together at the Park until I got my drivers license. You were always a true friend, and were always there to back your buddies up. I am so glad that we were able to get together for the Jethro Tull concert last year. Just like old times! Rest in peace, my friend, and I'll see you on the other side.
