It was a long drive to attend, especially on the heels of our trip to South Dakota. Still, LuLu, Junie and I wanted to represent the family and pay our respects, and for reasons I don't recall we took my baby grandniece Aliyah with us - her first trip out of state, and her first funeral.
Kevin's ex was (pleasantly) surprised to see us there. LuLu was a comfort to Kevin's kids, and the flowers we had left the family were on display in the church.
It was moving to see how many people loved Kevin. I only wish he had recognized that fact while he was here with us.
