Those we love remain with us. . .
In the whisper of the wind
in a soft rain that falls from Heaven
In each sunrise
In every star that lights the night sky
In every memory we hold in our hearts.
May all of your memories comfort you.

We are sorry for your loss, I was Kevin's Dispatcher at the old Englewood Fire alarm office for years and even though I don't think I had the pleasure of meeting you and your kids, you can be proud of your husband and father, he was a great guy! Please convey my condolences to the rest of the Gray Family, I grew up with your sister in law Patti Ann.

James and I have so much love and respect for your family. You mean so much to us.
There are so many good things to remember about Kevin, like what a good family man he was, how excited he would get to be able to teach the kids new things in scouting/sports, how involved he was, how in our nation's crisis at the drop of hat, drove to NYC to help at the WTC, how he drove down to St. Louis for Alex's emergency surgery. And though you only had him for a short time, feel blessed that the time you had together was basically, a really good life.

Mindy, you and Kevin, both have done many things to make us feel welcome in your home and to help us in our times of need no matter how big or small. So in your time of needed support or anything, PLEASE CALL on us.

God will see your family through this, you are a strong woman with great kids who will pull together and become even stronger.
Love and prayers to all of you,
Barb & James

Dear Mindy and Kids,
There are no words at this time that Ken or I can express to describe our thoughts for the five of you at this time. There was one note that really summed Kevin up on this book...Kind & Humble. Your husband and father was just that. Please know we are only a few steps away next door if you need anything. We will keep your entire family in our prayers.
God must have a plan for him!

Please remember you will always be in my prayers. Love, Mike, Karen, Katelynn, Mike & Claire Bragg
