Our Savior the Lord Jesus Christ has risen! Lucky you to be with him in Heaven. Tomorrow I will be visiting your brother Adam. We will be thinking of you. It has been 11 months since you passed. I miss you more and more each day.
Actually visited today, Easter…
Hey Kev! One year ago, today you passed away. I wan’t you to know that we all miss you and wish you were here with us. But sadly you aren’t, but i’m sure you’re doing good up there. I’m sure we will always have you in our heart. We miss you. Happy one-year anniversary Kev.

Happy New Years Son! Had you been here last night I know where you would have been, if in Georgia, ditto!
Granny passed away yesterday as I am sure you are aware. Getting to be more of yawl up there than us down here.
Sorry for your loss, sure its better up there.
Thanks! She was 93. I tried to find you in Kevin’s Facebook but could not find anyone named “Clara”.
That would be because Clara happens to be my second name and I also don’t use facebook.
OK, I see.
Kev, your old Dad turns 71 today. Wish you were here to help celebrate!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I am sure you and Granny and Marty will be enjoying some Green Beer today in Heaven!
He is risen! Happy Easter Kev! Thank Jesus for me for dying for our sins.
It is going to be a very bad day. It was 2 years ago tonight that I got that awful call from the Medical Examiner in Georgia that you had passed. I had to inform your mom; your brother and your sister, your aunts and uncles and cousins. I know you are in a better place with Granny, Pappy and my friend, and now yours, Marty. So many have gone before you including your sister’s mom and your mom’s dad.
Kevin, this is the 3rd Mother’s Day you have missed. Glad you and your Mom had Outback the Sunday before you passed, a week before Mother’s Day.
Well Son, will miss you this Memorial Day weekend. Your brother Adam and I will be breaking bread this weekend.
Next Sunday is Father’s Day, the 3rd we will have missed spending together. I wanted to write this now because I will be going into the Hospital next Friday for a procedure. I may be there 2 or 3 days and I did not want to miss the opportunity to write you. I miss you and love you so very, very much.
Happy Father’s Day sir! I wish you the best day possible and i hope it all goes well with your procedure. Wish you luck! And your son is still well missed and never forgotten about. Best of luck.
Thank you Clara! My procedure got rescheduled to next Wednesday the 29th. If you ever want to talk, let me know.
Got a 4 day weekend. Gonna miss you on the 4th of July!
Well, your brother is coming to visit today. Tomorrow we will be going to the Auburn game. Wish you were here to also go.
Happy 28th birthday Kevin! Wish you were here to go to the Auburn – Penn State game Saturday with me and your brother. I miss and love you so very, very much.
Happy birthday Kevin! We miss you a lot.
Kevin, next Thursday your brother and I will celebrate Turkey Day at your Aunt’s house. Wish you could be there!
Kevin, tomorrow your two Uncles, and their wives, and maybe your Aunt, are having a pre-Christmas Dinner like we did every year before COVID. Wish you were here to eat with us.
Happy New Year’s Kevin! I spent a reasonably quiet day watching 3 football games. Three southern schools (2 SEC) beat three Northern schools (2 BIG 10)… Miss you and love you!
