ReplyDeleteDear Tricia and Raney Family,
ReplyDeleteI wanted to share deep sympathies for the loss of Kevin. I worked with Kevin for several years as I was the GM of the Cherry Tree Inn and he was our GFS tech guru. I can't tell you how nice it was to work with Kevin. He was easy to communicate with. Wonderfully caring. A good man. The world has lost a great soul but Heaven has gained tremendously! God bless you all. Know that your husband/family member will be remembered and missed!
With great sorrow,
