The family wishes to thank Dr. Noble and the staff at Mercy Medical Center for their loving care, Hills and Dales for their special care during the early years in Kevin’s life, the Balltown Lions Club for sponsoring his camping trips, and most of all Area Residential Care, for their many years of care and service.
