Nadene Kelso nkelso.eicap.org I just want you to know how sorry I am for the Inglestrom family, losing two family members in such a short time is so sad. Colten sends his love, as you know he lived with Kevin for a while, but he's been through a lot this year so he's declining attending the funeral. Know your family is with us in spirit and prayer. Again, I'm so sorry. Nadine Kelso Lyle & Beverly Davis the chairmanrepairs@yahoo.com Girls, we're so very sorry for the loss you're both feeling right now. I so wish I could be there to help you, but it just isn't possible. Please know I loved you daddy very much and I'm praying for your comfort, and ability to meet the days ahead with the knowledge that your dad is always going to be with you as you meet the challenges ahead. Please call me if you want or need. All our love, Lyle & Beverly Davis Tom and Dorothy Walters tomndottie@msn.com We want to extend our deepest sympathies to all of the family. Tom grew up with Kevin and we talked to him right after Kim passed away. We are both in shock that he is gone. His family is in our thoughts and prayers. April Stephenson While I never met Kevin, he had a profound impact upon my father, John Stephenson. My father loved Kevin so very much. His presence in my father's life was a crucial one, and his passing came to soon. He will be missed. Kimberly Boyd My ex-husband, Pat Boyd, and I were so sorry to hear of Kevin's passing. We now feel so lucky to have visited with Kevin at Kim's funeral. Our hearts go out to your family for such a hard year. However, we sincerely cherish the memories we have of Kim, Kevin, and the gang and the friendships formed so many years ago. Their time on this earth had meaning to so many of us. Chris Beck and Brittany Bohman We are so sorry to hear about your dad. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Chris Beck and Brittany Bohman Diana Wagner dndwagner1@msn.com Sunny, I noticed your Dad's obituary in the paper and wanted you to know that I am thinking of you and Korann. I have often wondered what you are doing these days. I enjoyed having you in my room in the third grade at Fox Hollow. I am retired now and enjoying time to do what I wish. I know you will miss your Dad and I send my best to you. Mrs. Wagner Kemp Sargis moore__57@hotmail.com I will always remember the times going to Grandma's house, (I know she was actually Sheree's Grandma), but she made me feel like she was my Grandma too. I actually feel I was very blessed to have had so many Grandma's and Grandpa's to have touched my life. We always went on Christmas Eve, and the Ingelstrom's always made me feel at home. Thinking back, what I remember about Kevin was, when he would see you he'd get this little twinkle in his eyes and then he'd smile, and he'd always come and say hi and ask how you were doing. He always seemed happy with life. He was in the prime of his life, he will be greatly missed. Kemp Sargis Vard & Jan Hendricks and The Harrington Boys Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. God Bless (From Yuma, AZ) Charlene (Shugars) Cepek charlenecepek@sbcglobal.net For the first time in my life I think I'm speechless. My heart has such a big hole in it now. I worked and grew up with Kim and Kevin at the Soup Kitchen, still have not had a bowl of Clam Chowder that can match up to theirs. (Dorothy was a great teacher). Kevin had such a light in his eyes and a laugh that I can never forget, I can hear it now! Kevin taught me how to meditate, and sing with the Beatles. We thought we (all) were part of the band! (right David?) I only met his first child, but it seem he had more, your Dad as you know was someone special and had many friends. He will be missed very much. You are lucky to have had him for the time that you did, remember the lessons that he taught, he many to teach. My thoughts and prayers are with those of us left here. Charlene (Shugars) Cepek Ruth Baldwin Mecham sunkist416@yahoo.com Korann and Sunny, I just read about your dad and I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am. I am thinking of you and miss you both! Family of Glen and Doris Waters jkwat1@aol.com Our families were so close in past. Our parents were good friends. Our condolences to the Ingelstrom famlies for all their losses. Thank you, Jimmy and Dorothy, for the good memories.
