Dear Stephanie, Kailey, Tessa, and family. I have such fond memories of growing up with cousin Kevin playing with trucks, barbies, and all the toys. Enjoying all of the Christmas Norweigan lefse, krumkake, and cookies. All of the fun memories at Lake Wisconsin. He was as close as a brother to me. It was always fun to be with Kevin and he will be greatly missed by everyone. Many Blessings Love, Kari Kratochvil
