This memorial website was created in the memory of our beloved son, who made us laugh all the time. Kevin Sprague who was born in Rhode Island on May 11, 1983 and passed away on January 05, 2005 at the age of 21. Kevin loved everyone and everything. He played hard and worked hard. When Kevin was small he would follow his Grandpa Irace around. He would work with him in his back room. Grandpa taught him how to widdle and build. They had alot of fun together. He would help his Grandma Irace with her puzzles.. she loved them, and he loved sitting up with her until 2 am playing puzzles... He and his dad would go fishing, and then they would bring all their fish up to Grandma Sprague.. She loved the fish they caught...One time her freezer was full by all the fish they caught. I remember when we signed him up for Pee Wee football.. He was the perfect size.. Large...lol... He had to stand in the front, the coach told him one time, hold that guy, push him back, he pushed him all the way back to the end zone... lol... it was the funniest thing... I asked him, Kevin, why didn't you just knock him down?. He said to me, "Mom I didn't want to hurt him". as you well no Kevin didn't have football in his future. he didn't want to hurt anyone.... More to follow..

It has taken me a long time to add to Kevin's site. It is so difficult to come here.
It's time to update alittle.
Grandpa has now gone to heaven, so I know that he is with Kevin. Daddy died on Feb 18th, 2008.
He missed Kevin so much too, life was never the same for Walter either,
so now they are with each other, I feel that I know that to be true. I feel it.
Kevin and Kera loved hanging with Grandpa
Isaiah 57
The righteous perish, and no one ponders it in his heart;
devout men are taken away, and no one understands
that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil
2 Those who walk uprightly enter into Peace; they find rest as they lie in death

THE CORD
We are connected, my child and I, by an invisible cord not seen by the eye. It’s not like the cord that connects us at birth,this cord can’t be seen by any on earth. This cord does its work right from the start,i t binds us together,attached by the heart I know that it’s there, though no one can see this invisible cord, from my child to me. The strengthof this cord, it’s hard to describe,it can’t be destroyed, it can’t be denied. It’s stronger than any cord man could create;it with stands the test,can hold any weight.And though you are gone and you’re not here with me, the cord is still there though no one can see. It pulls at my heart, I am bruised, I am sore, but this cord is my lifeline as never before.I’m thankful that God connects us this way,a mother and child…Death can’t take it away. PeaceOut..
I Hear Each Tear Fall On Her Face author unknown My Mom doesn't know I'm watching her but I'm watching her just the same. And I hear each tear fall on her face at the very mention of my name. She says it sounds like music to her ears and can be heard over a crowd. Oh, I hear each tear fall on her face when my name is said aloud. I watch her stumble through each day as she wishes the day would end. And I hear each tear fall on her face as she talks of me to her friends. But there are few who truly understand. Oh this I've heard her proclaim. And I hear each tear fall on her face. Will my Mom ever be the same? I know that her smile lights up a sky. But I don't see that smile today. Oh, but I hear each tear fall on her face. Her blue skies have turned to gray. Oh I send to her my warmest hug with the rays of the morning sun. Then, I won't hear a tear fall on her face. For I shall erase them one by one. Yes, my Mom doesn't know I'm watching her. But I'm watching her just the same. And if I hear a tear fall on her face I'll just softly whisper her name!

I read your Post I read your post this morning and I am praying for you, when I pray for me, and everyone else. That we can get through each day without our children. My son , like your daughter is on my mind all the time. People say time will heal, they haven't lost a child, people say move on, they have lost a child, people say you are going to make yourself sick, well i guess when your heart is broken, you are sick ~~I will pray for us today I pray that God will lighten our load alittle bit each day so we can live again,knowing that we will see our children again.

There is no greater bond than that between a mother and her child. Mrs Diane has shown me that. She has lost one of her own and everyday lets a new child into to her heart. It takes a wonderful person to be able to set aside her grief and allow her s...

A POEM
Last night while I was trying to sleep, My son's voice I did hear. I opened my eyes and looked around But he did not appear. He said, "Mom you've got to listen, You've got to understand. God didn't take me from you, Mom He only took my hand. When I called out in pain that night, The instant that I died, He reached down and took my hand, And pulled me to His side. He pulled me up and saved me From the misery and pain My body was hurt so badly inside, I could never be the same. My search is really over now, I've found happiness within, All the answers to my empty dreams And all that might have been. I love you and miss you so, And I'll always be nearby. My body's gone forever, But my spirit will never die! And so, you must go now, Live one day at a time. Just understand God did not take me from you, He only took my hand.
