Hope and Family,
I was so saddened to learn of Kevin's passing; I saw his name in the St. Damian bulletin. God bless you all at this sad time. Kevin was a wonderful person who will truly be missed. I always looked forward to seeing him at tax time and to hear his stories. I'm sure he is telling many of his stories up in heaven. God bless you all!

Hope, Kathy, Sandy, kids...my deepest sympathies to you all.

I remember fond times with your family at Bass Lake...and a lot of memories over the years. I hope your memories bring you peace.

Tell his stories and Kevin will live on in your hearts forever. All of the Koppers and the Hallahans remain in my thoughts and prayers.

God Bless.

Dear Koppers Family,

I am terribly sorry for your loss. Mr. Koppers was one of the nicest guys I have ever meet, ever since I have known you guys I have felt like family and Mr. Koppers was always a big reason why. He always seemed to love life and was one of the best story tellers I ever knew. He is up in Heaven now looking out for all of you.

My Deepest Sympathies,

Hope and family,

My deepest sympathy to all of you on the loss of your beloved husband and father. Hope, when you were student teaching with me, I remember how helpful Kevin was with your work and also how proud he was of you at your graduation party. I know you will always have some very special memories of your time with Kevin. Now, he is your very special Guardian Angel who will be your protector forever. My prayers will be with you in the days and weeks to come.

God Bless you and your wonderful family.
