    Diane, my deepest sympathy to you and the family with Kevin’s passing. Life isn’t fair and I know you didn’t get to have the time with Kevin that you had hoped for, but I know you will cherish what time you did have and the memories that were made. Kevin was a one of a kind guy, full of life and enjoying it. I had intentions of coming by the funeral home for visitation prior to the funeral, but I had a co-worker that has been exposed to a positive COVID person and until I find out that my co-worker is negative, I feel I should not be out and about in a close situation. The last thing I would want to do is put you and any other person at risk. So forgive me for not being there to express my condolences in person, but know that I have been praying for comfort for you and the family and will continue to do so as you go through these next weeks and months and move on without Kevin here in your life. May God grant you all comfort and peace. RIP Kevin – you earned it!

    To Kevin’s family and Ed’s family, we are sending our deepest sympathy in the loss of a husband and brother. Wishing the days ahead be filled with many wonderful memories to help you through this. Because of Covid we have shied away from gatherings, including funerals. We are so sorry. You are all in our thoughts and prayers now and for a long time coming. Fred and Betty K Junk
