Thank you to the Whittingham Cancer Center at Norwalk Hospital for their compassionate care of Kevin.
Thank you to Dr. Carreau, the oncologist who pulled every trick out of her bag to treat his very aggressive form of metastatic cancer. Thank you to Dr. Desai, Molly, Nancy, Val, Jenny, Zaria, Ewa, Sasha, Magda, Dr. Z from MSK, and everyone else involved in his care. From the valet attendants to the security guards, they all developed a sweet and encouraging relationship with Kevin. We’re thankful for the pet therapy dogs that visited him during treatment. He enjoyed discussions with the chaplains and being prayed over by many people, like Leah on 6 East (being slightly skeptical, but he thought he’d take all the help he could get).
A special thank you to the all-volunteer Vista Fire Department for their expeditious ambulance ride. You are all great!
And a very heartfelt thank you (not a big enough word) to all the friends who stopped by, picked up the slack at his home, hung out, held his hand, brought meals, walked Red, honked as they drove by, messaged him, or just called.
Kevin called it “The Long Goodbye.” He was deeply touched by the outpouring of love, humbled by the sight of fellow cancer patients, and mad as heck at his prognosis.
Always hopeful, he bravely battled cancer—beating the initial odds with dignity and grace—to the too-soon end.
With grateful appreciation from all of us,
Barbara, Leah, Ken (Jane), Ernie (Kim), Carolee (Will), Jack (Nicole), and the Finney & Sevcik families
