Peace and Comfort
My girls and I were all together at Kev’s bedside this morning as we witnessed his passing. He is pain-free now. We are at peace knowing that he is in better hands. Waves of grief rush over us through the day and we have been blanketed with lots of love and service from so many people.
Wake and Funeral services will be held Wednesday, June 6 at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,
100 Williamson Dr. Waterbury
Wake: 4 pm to 6:30 Funeral: 7 pm
In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to PanCAN. Check the PanCAN website for Kevin’s donation page. Similar to how you could donate for Marlene’s marathon. I can’t get my cute computer geek husband to put the link up, so hopefully you can navigate. www.firstgiving.com/honorkevinwebster
Also, donations can be made to the missionary fund for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Kev served six years as Bishop of the Waterbury Ward and so loved to serve the people and youth. Details on how to do this can be obtained by local leaders.

God Saw You
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be,
So He put His arms around you and whispered, come to me;
With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you pass away,
And though we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us that He only takes the best.

We were so glad to hear that the family could be together for his passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Leah,
I wish I could be there for you at this time of grief. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. Call me any time you need to talk
Love,

Julie and I were very sorry to hear about Kevin. He was loved and will be sorely missed. We have been praying for all of you every night since we heard about Kevin’s diagnosis. We hope to come to his funeral on Wednesday but with Julie about to give birth any day now we are waiting to get permission from Julie’s doctor first before we make any concrete plans. She has an appointment with her doctor tomorrow. Rest assured that Kevin is in a better place and is happy. Heavenly Father probably has him hard at work already on the other side. We love you all and wish you the best through this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Ryan, Julie, and Korinna Stroud

We are down in Texas for Jeffs daughter Amanda’s wedding, We were at the temple on Thursday for endowments. Listing are names for the prayer roll on the way out. My husband said, not to forget Kevin! I was already in the middle of writing it. We hve been wondering how he was doing. We are so sorry for your loss, but also what a blessing that he isn’t suffering.
I have many cheerished memories of girls camp with both of you. I will never forget them. My love & prayers go out to your family during this little bump in the road. God be with all of you. We will see you soon till then take care!
Love,

Dear Leah and Webster Family,
I have nothing to offer but my prayers, my heart and my tears. Here is a Poem written by Pres. Hinckley, I think his thought say it the best.
What is this thing men call death,
This quiet passing in the night?
Tis not the end but genesis
Of better worlds and greater light.
O God touch my aching heart,
And calm my troubled, haunting fears.
Let hope and faith, transcendent, pure,
Give strength and peace beyond my tears
There is no death, but only change
With recompense for victory won;
The gift of Him who loved all men,
The Son of the Holy One.
Love and prayers, Nina, Jimmy and Jesse Lee

I know that any words of mine can not pacify the grief you must be feeling for the loss of kevin. I can only recognize his strength and determination he showed in the face of his own mortality, and that he lived a good life. Although i have never met him personally, i know from the words of my friends that he was a good man. And the loss of any good man such as him is a loss for us all. may he be inspiration for those who are fighting the same fight, and for those who seek strength.
May his freedom from the pain be your comfort in years to come, for he now rests in heaven. Good luck, and God bless
Sincerely, Cody

Dear Mealanee,Marlene,
I was honored to be at the beautiful sendoff for Kevin. I have been thinking about all the wonderful memories I have of him and your family. I just can’t help but wonder if Kevin is taking piano lessons from Mom, and if she is taking kayak lessons from him. More than anything I will miss his warm hugs,and his wise council,but I take great comfort that he is happy, and watching all of you. I just want you both to know how much you are loved,and if I can ever be of help or service of any kind to you,I sincerely hope you will call on me. I know that it can be hard,but Heavenly Father is always mindful of all of us. I feel truly lucky to have friends like you. Iam honored that Kevin was able to bless my little girl. I love you all and wish you all the best.
