where do i start... Kevin was brought up in belvedere by his mum, dad, sisters Christine, Rosie,
Jackie, Diane and brother Barry. 20 years ago he extended his family by meeting my mum and became an
amazing dad to myself and my brother Aaron and a grandad to Stacie and Taylor.
Kevin was an amazing man who would so anything for anyone and never had a bad word to say about
anyone. he never had the easiest of lives after the loss of his dad and then losing his much loved
mum. his grieving never stopped there he lost my grandad who he looked up to then lost his sister
Jackie which broke his heart.
in 2006 Kevin was diagnosed with cancer, a very rare type of cancer (he never did things simple) and
started a long battle, he needed to have a very serious operation, in which we wasn't given very
good odds for his survival. but he pulled through the 9 hour operation and began his recovery..
during this time we lost my uncle.. who was a very special person to Kevin, no longer had he been
out of hospital he was attending a funeral. in February 2007 he was finally given the all clear..
his fighting had paid off!!
that happiness was very short lived when in the same month after a routine check up revealed that
the cancer was back, this time worse, it was an adreanal cancer on the liver!! within weeks he
encountered so many other problems, he developed an infection in his liver.. a blood clot in the
inferior vena cava which all resulted inalot of water trapped in his legs. once again Kevin was
admitted into hospital, determined to fight again...
he went through a long struggle but hope was at hand when a drug was brought over from america to
treat the type of cancer he had,as soon as the drug arrived he began to take it along with all the
other medication he had... he was so scared of what might happen but we all reasured him he would be
ok and that we would get through it together.
side affects began to kick in... confusion was the main one it was heart breaking to see go through
this... but he fought on and he fought hard. as the dose was put up he got worse till in the end it
had to be stopped as it was killing him... but not all was lost we concentrated on trying to fight
this infection and the water on his legs because then he could go back on the chemo....
he never got better... his condition deteriated till on friday the 23rd march all our hopes were
taken from us when we was told there was jnow nothing they could do for him... he was given 1-2
weeks to live. i dont need to tell you how our world fell apart in that very second.. the man who we
all loved so much... the man who never did any wrong was going to be taken from us!
Kevin was afraid of dying so we didnt tell him, which was one of the hardest things we had to do..
how can you sit by a man so innocent and tell him to fight, that hes getting better when you know
hes dying... i dont know how we all did it but we did. by sunday he was barly consious but still
this amazing man was fighting, he so wanted to live and he had so much to live for, he planned to
fish in ireland with his brother, he wanted to see his grandson make it as a footballer, he had
discovered a great friend in his nephew Micheal and his gf Alex but most of all he wanted to beat
this and live his life with the woman he loved so dearly... my mum.
by around 9pm that sunday night kevin had lost conciousness and i think we all knew this was going
to be it...
it was... Kevin took his last breath at 4:40am with his loved ones at his side... the love of his
life.. myself, his brother Barry and his sister in law Wendy.
how can a man die just 2 days after being told he had 1-2 weeks to live!
Kevin was a great man who loved fishing, he went on many fishing holidays with friends and has
millions of pictures showing all the fish he had caught, these once boring pictures will now be
treasured. he also had a passion for computers, he was always trying something new and many times
things would go wrong and the whole system would go down but he kept at it till it was all up and
working again... self taught he also fixed computers for others only ever charging them for what he
had payed out for.
Kevin was also a very hard worker, he could never stand to be out of work as was very much loved by
all of his work mates!
As you can tell Kevin was a very very much loved man with such a huge heart, he was taken from his
friends and family much too soon....
and yes, only the good die young and Kevin who was only 43 really one of these people!!!
Kev thank you for everything you have done for us all, i can tell you from the bottom of my heart
you will never be forgotton we love you now and forever... until we meet again goodnight and god
bless xx i love you xx ( kiss and a hug from taylor)

•♥ Heaven ♥•
A silver thread that keeps me near
To those I love and hold so dear,
Will someday slip, and I'll swim free.
A soul afloat in a bounteous sea.
I'll also soar in maddening glee,
To places unseen by you and me.
Through darkest night and brightest day,
I'll fly to a far and magical bay.
In ethereal havens of love and peace,
My God-given life will never cease.
The passing of time will be obsolete ...
Travelling the auras, no great feat.
Don't you grieve, notice the sound
Of my songs to you with love abound.
I'll never leave you, don't you see?
I'll live with you, eternally!

ღ♥ღ Till Healing Comes ღ♥ღ
My heart is closing deep inside
from all the pain I feel;
while others are so full of joy
my hurt feels very real.
I want to find a bit of light
but part of me feels dead,
and though I see the joy around
my soul is sad instead.
It's hard to enter deeply in
when you're no longer here.
It's like the lights have all gone out
and won't be lighting up this year.
And so this year I must be
just how it is I am.
So that soon my heart can heal
I'll do the best I can.
The only thing that I can do
is to stay present in the now,
to feel my grieving pain
and trust I'll heal somehow.
As this year gently comes
and as my heart is torn in two.
I'll open just a little bit
as I'm deeply missing you.
I'll trust the gift of life that's here
and trust that I'm ok,
and be with how it is right now...
..till healing comes my way.

♥═══♥ HOMEWARD BOUND ♥═══♥
The Lord woke up this morning with so much work to do
so many plans He has to make before the day is through.
He gathers all his angels. They stand close by his side
as each receive their saintly chores they spread their wings and fly.
The Lord looked up and realized his angels all were gone.
With so much work still left to do, He'd hire a new one on.
A million applications now lie upon his desk.
He reads each one so carefully until he finds the best.
Someone with all the qualities it takes to keep their faith.
Someone who seemed to always have a smile upon their face.
Someone who always tried to give a hand to those in need.
Unselfish love was all he knew, no room was left for greed.
And now the Lord has made his choice. He'll come for him today.
With wings that God alone can give, He smiles and flies away.
A single, fallen feather lies softly on the ground.
A sign sent down from heaven, Angel wings are homeward bound.

A gap in the curtain
let in the light
as I lay on my pillow
sleeping last night
I opened my eyes
the light was so bright
I was sure that I heard you
whisper night night
A little white feather
tickled my nose
Where did it come from
do you suppose
Had you been to visit
to whisper night night
And left the white feather
I think that you might
♥ TIME WILL EASE THE HURT ♥
♥ by Bruce B. Wilmer ♥
♥ The sadness of the present days ♥
♥ Is locked and set in time, ♥
♥ And meaning to the future ♥
♥ Is a slow and painful climb. ♥
♥ But all the feelings that are now ♥
♥ So vivid and so real ♥
♥ Can't hold their fresh intensity ♥
♥ As time begins to heal. ♥
♥ No wound so deep will ever go ♥
♥ Entirely away; ♥
♥ Yet every hurt becomes ♥
♥ A little less from day to day. ♥
♥ Nothing can erase the painful ♥
♥ Imprints on your mind; ♥
♥ But there are softer memories ♥
♥ That time will let you find. ♥
♥ Though your heart won't let the sadness ♥
♥ Simply slide away, ♥
♥ The echoes will diminish ♥
♥ Even though the memories stay. ♥
