To My Will,

Your life was a blessing to all of us. Your beautiful soul touched many people and we are all better people for knowing you. Your smile could brighten anyone’s day and your time with us will never be forgotten. You were lucky to have a family that loved you and still love you unconditionally. I will pray for you, Kevin, and each and every person who feels lost without you. I know in my heart you found the peace you were looking for and somehow I know I have to let that very thought comfort me.

I will think of you always,



Your Grace

My condolences to the O'Connor family. I am a long time client at the salon. Kevin was such a kind and funny person. At Christmas, I would bring in cookies for the staff. Kevin enjoyed my butterscotch oatmeal cookies. I'll think of him whenever I make them. I hope he has found the peace he deserves.

My dear darling godson and nephew. You have taken a part of my heart and soul with you. You can have them and use them, because you have finally found an end to the pain, and you have finally found the peace you deserve.



While you were with us, your wit and personality lead everyone you met to love you. Your charisma attracted all people.



May you find acceptance and redemption this Easter.
