Brenda Munroe
Deb, Sue, Danny and families. I can honestly say I know what your going through, and I wish to the Lord above that we didn’t have to go through this, but he tells us that he is doing it for them to free them from pain and to comfort us knowing that he is not suffering any longer, which in turn should make us stronger. Well maybe so but right at this time it sure doesn’t feel like it. Try to talk about all the funny thing he has said or done and don’t be afraid to laugh and enjoy all his memories. I am here for each and everyone of you if you need me!!! Love you all, my second family!!! ❤

Kevin was truly a kind and forthright person. We came to know him during our research on ‘Parlour ‘Culture’ for which he was a major source of help and information. But, far beyond these deeds, he showed us how a human being should live despite overwhelming sorrow and suffering. Surely, Kevin’s life manifested the spirit of a saint while he was with us.
Sincerely,
Bette (Verge) Hanrahan and

I remember Kevin well when we were students at Saint Mary’s University sharing the same floor in the dormitory. We hang out together and went Alcohol Commission to buy beers on Fridays. Kevin was generous and invited me to his house in Liverpool during holidays. I still kept photos with him during my visit. He showed me the museum and I had a wonderful time. I especially grateful to his family and his mum for such wonderful hospitality. I will always remember Kevin. Rest In Peace Kevin ! I will always missed you !
