Mr. and Mrs. Leonard and Family – I was so sorry to hear about Kevin’s passing. Although high school was so many years ago, I have such fond memories of Kevin. Please know that my family is thinking about you and Kevin and praying for you at this terribly difficult time.
God Bless

We are so sorry to hear about Kevin. We have many fond memories of “the boys” ( Kevin, Jim and Mark) as they played together through grade school and high school. May Kevin rest in the Peace and Love of the Lord. You are all in our thought and prayers.
Love
