Time flies  / India (Friend & BLS classmate )
Kevin, I was thinking about you hard on December 8th and meant to check in, but could not, for the life of me, remember how to get to this webpage. Finally I got an e-mail today that someone lit a candle for you and here I am!! It's been over a year and D and I are still feeling the grief! If you were still here, we would be talking about how well the N.E. (perfect) Patriots are doing this year and how they're going all the way.....but even so, I know that you're seeing all of that from up there. I will check back in with you sooner than later. Missing you always,


India Close

LETTER / Susie Fontes (Friend)
Hi Kevin,

How's things going up there? I still can't believe your gone. It's been a year since I've seen your smile. Our birthday wasn't so great this year, cuz you wasn't  here to party like a "ROCK STAR".  I took some advice you gave often to "LIVE IT UP" and let me say what a difference I have seen in my life. THANKS!!!!!! Kevin, I see your face every morning when I get up and every night when I go bed. I'm happy to say that I'm glad to have met you. You will always be our angel, our friend, and our brother. I love you always.

I do have a Guardian Angle  / Bethy Gomes (Friend...)
Thank you, thank you, thank you… I was in a car accident last week (my SUV is gone) and everybody is amazed we came out of the crash with out a scratch. I believe it was because a guardian angel, YOU, was there protecting us. I’m sorry about your picture that I had on my back window (it had been there since the day of your wake) the hit was so severe that when the pole hit on top of the truck the back window shattered and I don’t know what happened to the picture. I looked for it but I didn’t see it. I’ll make sure your picture goes back up on my car again.

Thanks for looking out, A Guardian Angel indeed.

Happy belated birthday.....  / Deschannel Delaney (friend)
Hi Kevin. Just passing by to wish you a happy belated birthday angel. I have had some complications with my sickle cell anemia. Acute chest syndrome; which has taken me back out of the loop for a minute. But you were never far from my thoughts. I can't stop thinking about how fragile and finite life and unfair is. Every moment and memory are so precious. You were so young, beautiful and fervid. You can't be eulogize enough; it's hard to find the words to describe you.That's what makes it so hard to fathom. I wish you didn't have to move on like that. But God is the creator, director and editor. We have to have faith in how he moves and put ourselves in his hands. Although I'm not really comfortable with leaving messages. You are always in my heart and thoughts. Miss ya. xoxox R.I.P Kevin. We'll chill soon. Close

Happy Belated Birthday  / Bethy Gomes (Friend)

I wish you a great birthday day up there in Heaven (your first B-Day as our ANGEL). Sorry about the late b-day wish. I was caught up in moving and did not have excess to the internet until now. Yes, I finally bought my house. Look down and let me know if I did good.

6 months .....  / Ana DePina (sister)
I still can't believe that 2day makes 6mos to the day since the day u were taken from us.  The pain has not lessened at all, but I don't think it ever will.  One of the things that I have  also struggled  with was the survivor's guilt.  It has taken 6 mos to realize that is not what u have wanted for anoyone that u left behind.  U would want us 2 "live it up" and enjoy our lives.  But, I wish that u were here Kevin to enjoy with us.  I miss u so much, that it is so hard 2 think of u at times cuz the pain is so palpable. I know that u r looking down on us n I know that you know how much I love u even though I never got the oppurtunity to tell you.  That is probably one of my biggest regrets in my life Close

Happy Valentines Day!!! Close

Still hard to know you are gone...  / Gabriela Richard (Friend (BLS classmate) )
It is still hard to know you are gone.  I can only imagine the emotions your family is going through.  I thought about you and your family during the holidays and I sent my love and hope their way, as well as yours.

The realization of your loss comes in waves.  Today, out of the blue, it was especially hard.  Even though we did not stay in touch over the years, your spirit and memory are a part of me... Being in BLS for 6 long years was like having a second-family of people whose first and last names you will always remember, and awkward growing pains you will never forget.  In some ways, losing you was like losing one of my cousins - depite the distance and separation, I will always care and respect them as I did you.

You were a wonderful, respectful, humble person, which made it easy to care about you.  I feel like, since those awkward and silly moments in eighth grade on through our talks during senior year, we had an unspoken, undefined, close bond of friendship whose strength we both didn't fully become aware of until being reunited after that distance at the 10-year reunion.  I am glad I decided to go (I made a last-minute decision) and I am glad I had those last moments of speaking with you.  It was wonderful to see how much you had matured and how much of a gentleman you became.

I will always miss you... I will always remember you... I will always keep your spirit alive.  You will never know how much your death changed the path of my life, in insurmountable ways, just as your life did.  Had I never met Kevin Fidalgo, I would not be the same Gabriela Richard - not in the least.

Over the holidays, I got engaged, and if I ever have a son, I hope we can raise as wonderful of a person as you became.


TO BLS CLASSMATES: I am still interested in starting a scholarship fund, but it has been hard to get in touch with the alumni association.  If anyone is interested in joining me with this or has already started one I can contribute to, please email me at the address linked through my name. Close

A CLASS ACT  / Bill Eklund (CO-WORKER)
Kevin you are remembered every day as all of your co-workers  perform those same tasks that took you from us all. You are sadly missed but will never be forgotten. May God Bless your entire family in this time of sadness, you are one of Gods Hero's.   Close

how do u pay tribute .....  / Ana Depina (sister)
I don't know the answer to that question, yet.  But, there is one thing that I do know for certainty, that we, the family and friends of Kevin will never forget him and  one day we shall all say we are "living it up" in Kevin's honor.  It is way too soon to see the light at the end of the tunnel, because the pain is so intense right now, but there is a light.  I know for me that i will never be the same person ever again and how could I.  I lost my brother, he was the youngest and the only boy of the 4 of us.  I know that I feel robbed and angry cuz I will never, ever really get the oppurtunity to really know my brother, Kevin, because God called his angel home on Friday, December 8th, 2006.  But, I miss him and love him and wish that he was still here with us.  But, I do have one dream for all of us that are left behind, that we all smile and think of him and don't waste the time that we have on this earth, because tomorrow is never promised.  Life is way too short and we all know that Kevin's was, and maybe he did to, and that is why we all miss him so much.

Not a day goes by...  / Dee Silveira-Baptista (Cousin)
That I don't think about Kev and pray that the Lord would bring ccomfort to his mom. I miss Kev but I have no doubt he's in a better place and with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

We are not promised tomorrow so if there is something you need to do or say to someone...do it today. You never know when it's your time or the time of the person you love.

James 4:14 - Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is evan a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. Close

I got that call this morning, thanks for the birthday wish... Close

2007 / Isabel Melo (Forever Friend )
Going into 2007, its extremely hard to imagine the year without you here physically. I knw that alot of us will still be expecting to bump into you some place. Reality is hard to take in..that you arent here body and mind...just your soul and spirit lives on in each and every one of us. This whole situation as tragic as it has been, I think has somewhat opened up our eyes to alot. Sad to think that , that is what it takes....but its definately happening. In our own individual ways.  Just know Kevin, that we all love you. WE all miss you dearly. Even though you have reached your final destiny on earth, we know that your new one has just begun up in heaven...(and i must say u are the finest looking angel i assume..no i know...:) )   Please watch over ur family and friends...they all need it...desperately...

2007 will definately prove to be a more productive year...and we will continue on to pass on your legacy...being good to people...not being spiteful, or cruel..helping each other in watever ways we can. you were something special...i started to realize that the more i got to know you. And ill always remember you as long as i am still breathing. 

Happy New Year Kevin. 
Forever Friends.

Descansa en paz mi amigo  / Jimmy Arreaga (Friend, Class Mate )

Kev,

We met in seventh grade and were friends ever since. I'll never forget our days at Latin and at Umass. My thoughts and prayers are with your mom and your family. You'll always be missed but we all know your watching us from above. Yo se que estas con dios. Algun dia te vere otra vez. I'll always remember you Kev, descansa amigo mio!

Hero / Matthew Christensen (BLS Class of 97 )
I have been living in the Mid-West, so I just heard about this tragedy.  To Kevin's close friends and family, please take comfort in knowing that while his life was cut short, he made the most of the time he had here.  Kevin positively touched the lives of thousands of people, which is something that cannot be said about most.

And God Said.......  / Diane Angel Mom- Katie Cassidy (I care )
I said, God I hurt
And God said, I know

I said, I cry alot
And God said, That's why I gave you tears

I said, Life is so hard
And God said, That's why I gave you loved ones

I said, But my loved one died!!
And God said, So did mine!!

I said, It's such a great loss!!
And God said, I saw mine nailed to a cross!!

I said, But your loved one lives!!
And God said, So does yours!!

I said, Where is he now??
And God said, My Son is by my side and
Your Kevin is in my arms!!
