“HMM! Not too bad!” Kevins highest approval

Thanks for this memory Andrew.

Kevin was lucky to have you two spend the amount of time early 2021 that you did with him and also making FaceTime calls to several.

Hey guys, we drove by the Woodland Glen house weeks ago and were surprised to see both huge hickory trees in front of the house (one being this one with the white circle bench) were no longer there. Hard to believe they both died. ???

It warms my heart to hear how Kevin will "live on" in so many small yet meaningful ways!

This article reminds me of so many "firsts" we had to challenge for Kevin through the years. This article was a result of the town of Chicago Heights fighting the building of the first group home IN THE NATION in a residential neighborhood for special needs people. The U.S. had recently passed the Amendment to the Fair Housing Act that allowed such a thing. Of course Chicago Heights LOST a lawsuit they were so dumb to take on, so the city had to pay $10,000. to the building agency, and $1,000. to each of the first 16 residents who moved in to Broadway Terrace. Kevin was the very first as he had been wanting to "get out of here" from living with mom and dad at 31. We took him to HAWAII with his $1,000 !!!
