Kevin and I shared many moments together when we were in our youth. Sports, school, delivering pizzas and many other times. With special memory I still recall our conversations about Asia and life there as I had been in China for several years before Kevin’s move. Godspeed brother, your fight has ended. All our love Marilou. I shall see you there on Tuesday.
