  22. Devin

    Jane and kids,
    I’m thinking of you all this coming week. The holidays should be about gathering around your family to celebrate, not to mourn. I am so very sorry this is something you’re all going through. I met Kevin only once or twice but through the stories Jane told at work it was evident that you two were soulmates.
    You’ll be in my thoughts and prayers. I know I’m not close but if you need anything from me, Jane, please don’t hesitate to ask.
    -Devin
