To Kevin's Family,
My heartfelt sympathy to you at this difficult time. While I have not seen much of Kevin over the past few years, there was no greater man who always had a kind word that took deep interest in what you had been doing since we last had seen each other. I wish you all the love and prayers possible. Kevin will remain in my heart always.

Dear Gene and Joanne,
I am so sorry to hear of Kevin's loss. I will never forget when he graduated and became a funeral director, one of the most interesting party's I have ever attended for sure. Truly a kind man, may he rest in peace.
