Our Kevin has died

[sevenofwands]

Excellent, Lauren.  Very well stated.

"You did not see that relationship because it happened off screen.  Trust them.  They knew Kevin better than anyone else here.  They never would have done it had they thought it would have hurt kevin. ""

SoCal:
Pretty much anything on the net can be read by someone we know, and indeed by many we don't know.

I will be a little more direct than Lauren, and say: "Give it a rest, SoCal."
If you wish to open a thread to argue the point, then fair enough.  But this thread is headed "Our Kevin has died". 
Respect, please.

No YOU give it a rest Seven. I am stating my opinion and I stand by how I feel. Respect is exactly what I'm talking about. His privacy should have been RESPECTED.

And Lauren I was talking about your post in his guest book, not anyone else, so I don't need to "trust them" since I was talking specifically about your post. I don't think promoting this forum and talking about his "loneliness" was appropriate on a TRIBUTE page. That's just common sense. And no, I'm not "afraid" of anything I post here to be read by my family. I was specifically talking about some stuff Kevin posted about his stepkids. I don't really think it would be good for them to read that he didn't feel close to them.

I've stated how I feel and I'm not responding to this anymore. It's too late now anyway.

Socal,

I'm asking you to stop.  You said your peace, so let it rest.  
Yes I was one of them. I was talking about me, as well as others here who knew him well,  outside of this websight.  He would not have minded.

If he and the step kids were not close then I highly doubt they would come here or sign the funeral guestbook.  I didnt see anything written by them and I didnt even see them mentioned.  If they do come here,  he didnt say anything bad about them anyway.  I read the majority of his post beforehand.

Now, this WILL BE the end of this discussion, for all of us.

Lets all pray for Kevin and Betty to be resting in peace today and always and to know they will be greatly missed by family and friends. I am going to light a candle for them, my husband , my mom and dad and all the people here on this site. There was a Marine killed here in my town and everyone in the town is going to his funeral tonight, the town is acually like a ghost town, its very sad.

Kevin , I miss you, we all miss you, Rest in Peace.

Love, Georgia.

I am so saddened by this news about Kevin. Thx Georgia for the head's up. I am so sad about this. I always emailed w/ Kevin right until mid-august and this is exactly what I felt may be coming. I learned so much from this brilliant, wise, funny, loving and caring soul...THANK YOU dear friend Kevin, thank you for caring about me and my family- both here and in our emails.

I guess Kevin, who shared this unimaginable journey with us, had to make the ultimate sacrifice so the rest of us could learn from him and follow him someday. He has joined our loved ones, our reasons for knowing him. And more importantly his precious Betty. Rest in peace Kevin.

Love to all on this site-Terri

Kevin,

Tell my mom, dad and gma hi for me!  And tell them I turned out ok

[tsurandy]

I will miss Kevin, he helped me a lot when I first joined this forum, I know he is in Heaven with his Betty!  Bless you Kevin! 

[georgiapeaches]

The last Message  I received from Kevin, he told me I was a good and caring mother, I took his words very personal, he made me feel so proud, he made me feel like I was doing a really good job. We used to chat on our lunch hour. Kevin if you meet my Johnny nad my mom and dad, please tell them I'm trying? Miss you.

Georgia.

Kevin;

What can one say other than you will be so missed by me and everyone. You had such good things to say. We chatted by PM, because he had cancer like Jim and then it went to the brain. We "talked" about that. He was so caring for everyones feelings and was a sincere person. I will miss him alot; I had a fear that he had passed when I didn't hear from him, or that anyone else did either. May he and Betty be forever happy together once again. He touched so  many of our lives in different ways and always seemed to have the time for us. I cried when I read the post that he passed; felt like I lost a "friend".

Kevin, tell Jim I love him, happy birthday tomorrow (9/28) and all of my other loved ones in heaven that I will, too, see them one day again ........

sending good thoughts to kevin and his family.
i am glad that, atleast, he's with his wife again.
sad news he was always such a nice guy...

[mousewife]

Kevin was a decent person who always did offer encouraging words.  I think it would be a good tribuite to the effect his life had on people if all those who received encouragement from him continued on in the same way.

I believe his anniversary was September 14th, and that we had spoken about that being the date of my husband's birthday.

I am saddened by his death and especially upset to know that it was cancer that took him.

I agree mousewife.  I think it is our duty to carry on the good in everyone who has died.   

How awesome that he made it to his wife in time for their anniversary!
