"Kevin was my cousin & I loved him dearly??He will be missed by all of us Dale girls. We were special cousins as we both had heart transplants from the familia heart disease that we received from our Mothers , He received his about a year after I did in it 2005. Everytime when I was at Barnes & he lived in StLouis he would visit me. We have a very sad history with this disease. Several cousins on the Swan side have either gotten a heart or like Kevin that passed away before he could get his 2nd heart. ! R. I. P. My dear cousin Kevin! Give every one of our family a hug from me. See you when I get there ????"
