Kevin, 

There's not one second i dont think of you, pray for you, and speak to you, either in my mind, my heart, or, out loud; every time I look up at the clock, or look at a license plate on some random peoples car, or when im shopping somewhere, or, hearing someone on the radio tell me its 9:09, or, doesnt matter where, or, when, I always see your birthday, 909; 

kev, I just want you to know that there's not one second that I don't see your face, or, hear your voice, your laugh, even when you use to get upset about something, in my mind; I can still see that big vein, that use to pop oit right on the middle of your forehead, whenever you would get mad about something, and how you use to turn red lol; your voice never stops echoing on my head, especially when you call my name :'(

kev, it's like a movie that plays over and over and over again inside my head, and in my heart; I remember everything very vividly; as I'm writing this, I can't help but to see your smile, your eyes, your teeth, your jet black hair that was so black that it looked blue; I can only put into words the thoughts that come to mind, but I cant put into words the fire, or, the feeling in my heart...

my big day is coming, and I surre wish you, and my mom, and nawres, were here to celebrate with me, and our family; I'm going to try my hardest to hold back my tears, and the fire that's burning inside my heart on that day, but I can't promise you; my heart is pouring out tears from my eyes now, as I'm writing this, I'm trying my hardest to hold them back (like I really can); I can only imagine what will happen on that day... please hug and kiss my mom, and nawres also, for me; tell them that I love, and miss them like crazy; there are no words that can explain how much I love, and miss you all... can't wait for ALL of us to be together again :)

I love you

your brother,
mark 

I love you kev, I miss you;

Kev,

I've been thinking about you a lot lately. your voice echo's in my head all the time; maybe it's because I won't let go of all our memories, our ups and downs, our good times, bad times, our wild times, and all of our time blessed with each other? or maybe it's because you're just sowed into my blood and that I laugh because you laugh? is it because we're first cousins from both sides, and so close that our blood and dna are basically the same? I especially love when I hear your laugh; I can be in the middle of doing something and out of no where I hear and see you laughing, I would start laughing to myself, it's like you come to share some of our moments together bro. I can never forget the way you would light up any room with your laugh :) 

my heart still burns for you till this day; your fire in my heart has never died down; you know that your fire continues to burn strong within my heart, I had to get your name tatted on skin to carry it upon my flesh till the day we see each other again.

I will share a memory of us; I'll call it: the night the sun came out

I remember one of the times I knew how happy you were, and the smile you had on your face when one day you called me at home, it was around 7 o'clock at night; it was late fall, early winter because it got dark real early; I remember like it was yesterday; you called me to tell me you got a new bike. you called me describing the bike and you asked me if I wanted to see it. I told you yes, and you said you are going to come over to show it to me. I remember asking you if your mom would let you to leave this late. but you still wanted to come over and show it to me, regardless of the cold and the light snow. I remember I was excited, that as soon as we hung up the phone with each other, I went and sat by the front window waiting for you to come.

I was waiting and waiting, and all of the sudden I can see you appearing through the darkness of the night. as soon as I saw you turn the corner, my eyes lit up with excitement; I got up and ran to the front door just as you were riding up the driveway and up to the front porch. you were so happy and excited that you got a new bike [apparently, as kids, at that time, getting stolen bikes from our uncle's who bought them from the people at their store, we would be so happy getting a bike that I didn't matter that they were stolen bikes from 'the hood,' we sure acted like they were new lol]. you were showing me the features of the bike, we couldn't wait for the summer to come so we can go bike riding together :) it was cold and already late, so we talked shortly, then you left. as you were riding away, I watched you ride away until I couldn't see you anymore. all I remember seeing was the tire tracks you left in the snow. I stood on the porch watching you ride away; when I couldn't see you anymore, i remember following the tire tracks with my eyes until they faded into the night.

I have so many memories; I wanted to share one with who ever comes to your webpage looking for stories of you. 

Kev, you live in all off us, forever. your fire will ALWAYS burn strong in our hearts. your short time here with is touched our lives in countless ways; your departure changed the paths and the lives of those who loved you.

can't wait to be with you again and hug you, and tell you how much I love you and miss you :'/

your fire burns on...

your brother, Mark 

Kevin,

     You weren't only a nephew to me, but a brother also. When I think about all our crazy memories it is so bittersweet. It's crazy because 'm sharing our memories with my girls and I'm laughing and crying at the same time. As many times as we had our little arguements I think back and laugh at how stupid they were, but i guess that's how it is when two people are so close. I can't believe it's been 20 years. I think back and it feels like you were here just yesterday. You may be in heaven but your memories still live on. You will never be forgotten and you will always be loved. My favorite memory was when we went to Wheels Inn. We used to go every year and we had so much fun.
     I see so much of you in JJ. He has grown up to be such a wonderful young man and I know you had alot to do with it. I am so proud of him, as well as Christine, Heather, Renee, Jen, and Siobhan. Your nieces and nephews are amazing too but I'm sure you already know that. You're looking down on us as our gaurdian angel. We all love you and miss you so much and one day we will all be together. This time I promise I won't argue with you about cleaning!
