We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and hearts go out to you and the family.
Sophie, I just happened to go on-line to the Hat obits and was shocked and saddened to read about the passing of your son Kevin. You and I went to high school together in Vauxhall and my mom and dad were your neighbors on Southview Drive. Mom and Dad always spoke so highly of your family – said your kids were the nicest teens around! They would be so sad to hear this. There is nothing more precious than your children and Kevin sounded like he was a fine young man that you would be very proud of. Please know that my prayers are with you as you walk this difficult part of your life’s journey.
