It's beautiful here.  All the peace and joy that we have known or were ever meant to know is magnified, not diminished.  Time and space are no longer important.  There is no suffering here, no loss for loving words or thoughts, no hesitancy to embrace, no envy or pride, no longing for what was to be.  It is only in arriving here that the brilliant memories of the past and bright promises of the future entwine and grow as one.  Family takes on new meaning.  All are included, none are left out.

Please don't be sad with my passing to this wonderful place.  My life, as yours, continued to be full and rewarding, a never ending new beginning.  It's a time of sharing memories, joining hands and hearts.  I continue to share your laughter and tears, joy and sorrow, hopes and dreams.  I long with all my heart for your peace and contentment.  You know that I would give up much of my own joy to comfort each of you in the small way that only you and I know.  I ask that you allow God to bring joy into your life and the lives of those you love, to trust in God's goodness and to be good to each other always.

With more love than you could ever imagine,

Kevin

This lovely prayer was written by Michelle Thaman just a few days after Kevin passed.  Kevin had a date with Michelle to go to the Homecoming dance on the same day that he died.
