We hope you will now be comforted knowing where he is and that your memories of an active fun loving young man will keep him with you always. Our thoughts remain with you and all of Kevin's friends who feel the loss so deeply. Lou & Kathy Dona and Scott Apponie applesix@cableone.net Kevin visited our home on many occassions during his high school years. He was a very nice boy and we enjoyed his friendship with our son, Jason Wolle. Although the two boys ended up in different parts of the world they remained in contact and good friends over the years. Jason would visit Kevin when he made it down to Seattle and would visit with him by phone or through email several times a year. Jason works for the Alaska Fish and Game department in Southeastern Alaska and is out in the bush right now. We contacted him by satellite phone to tell him about the memorial. He was sad he couldn't attend the memorial for Kevin but has you and your family in his prayers. Please be comforted to know Kevin was loved and admired by many friends and accept Jason's and our sympathy and condolences at this most difficult time. Sincerely, Scott and Dona Applonie, Jason Wolle
