To the Socha family,
I don't know how much pain you're in right now due to your loss, but I understand that you're hurting. I didn't know Kevin personally, but we did go to the same school for 5 years, so it's sad to hear that he's passed away. My prayers go out to the whole family and friends during this time and after. God bless you!

We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.

And the days before that, too.

We often speak your name.

Now all we have is memories,
And your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake,
With which we'll never part.

God has you in His Keeping.
We have you in our Heart.
