To My brother, a true lost King as was Aragorn. I love more than you could ever know. who else could I put bettles in tar with, or make faces at across the breakfast table, or go downtown to buy comic books with. I miss you and will always dedicate any of my success to you.

Mike Jurkash told me that Kevin had died. I am so sorry for you, his family, and friends. When somebody dies tragicaly and suddenly, I ask the family if they still love him or her. "Of course we do' is always the reply. Then I ask if their love is greater than God's love - it can't be and never will be...God loved Kevin from the beginning and it never stops. God doesn't love us because we are good - we are good because God loves us - now and forever. He is safely home and at peace. My prayers are for you, his family and friends....
