I was so heartbroken to hear of Kevins passing. As a friend who saw him complete his film at Southern Il. University it gave me great pride that is was recognized. I will always remember how he touched me as filmmaker and friend.

Dear Laurie and Kevn,

Words cannot begin to express the sense of loss you must be feeling. We still remember the Christmas at Bonnie and Steve's when Keven Edward was just a baby. That was a very happy time for you.

Please know that our thoughts and prayers and obviously the thoughts and prayers of family and freinds are with you during this terrible time. Armed with this, maybe the slow process of mending deep wounds will begin.



Our deepest sympathy and love to you,



Dick and Debbie Washabaugh

Laurie and Kevin,



Words can't describe the depth of our feelings for all of you at this time of unthinkable loss.



We will always remember our Kevins together with their "movie star" sisters at the shore.



It goes without saying how we from the Charles-Heal clan cherish our kinship and memories.



Memories and a closeness that time will never take away regardless of the miles that separate us.



Love to you all,

I remember Kevin well from the days when he and Chad played basketball together. He had so much energy and a great smile. I'm so sorry to hear he is gone so soon. My heart goes out to you.

Sincerly,
