Kevin was a quiet, hard working and enjoyable person.

I have worked with Kevin for ten years and will miss him and his subtle humor.

This has been shocking and sad for many of us who knew him.

Shannon, for the greatest loss you have suffered, my prayers are with you, I hope these following words can give you some comfort as they did for me. Love you dear friend…

If Tomorrow Starts Without Me

If tomorrow starts without me

and I’m not there to see.

If the sun should rise and find your eyes

all filled with tears for me.

I wish so much you wouldn’t cry

the way you did today.

While thinking of the many things

we didn’t get to say.

I know how much you love me

as much as I love you.

And each time that you think of me

I know you’ll miss me too.

But if tomorrow starts without me

please try to understand,

That an angel came and called my name

and took me by the hand.

He said my place was ready

in Heaven far above,

And that I’d have to leave behind

all those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,

a tear fell from my eye.

For all my life, I’d always thought,

I didn’t want to die.

I had so much to live for

so much left yet to do.

It seemed almost impossible

that I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,

the good ones and the bad.

I thought of all the love we shared,

and all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday

just even for a while.

I’d say good-bye and kiss you

and maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized

that this could never be.

For emptiness and memories

would take the place of me.

And when I thought of worldly things

I might miss come tomorrow,

I thought of you, and when I did,

my heart filled up with sorrow.

But when I walked through Heaven’s gate,

I felt so much at home.

Then God looked down and smiled at me

from His great golden throne,

He said, “This is eternity and

all I’ve promised you.

Today your life on earth is past,

but here life starts anew.

I promise no tomorrow but

today will always last,

And since each day’s the same way,

there’s no longing for the past.

You have been so faithful,

so trusting and so true.

Though there were times

you did some things,

you knew you shouldn’t do.

But you have been forgiven

and now at last you’re free.

So won’t you come and take my hand

And share my life with me?”

So if tomorrow starts without me,

Don’t think we’re far apart.

For every time you think of me,

I’m right there, in your heart.

Shannon, Today, I just was told of Kevin’s passing. I am so very sorry. Yes, He was too young with so much life ahead for the both of you. Nothing anyone can say can heal your heart.

I am your yard sale fan.
