"THE MEMORIAL"

DEATH COMES TO ALL BUT NOT WE ALL LIKE TO TALK ABOUT IT.

TO LOSE SOMEONE YOU LOVE BRINGS PAIN BEYOND BELIEF.NO WORD COULD EASE THE PAIN OF THE "MARSHALLS" WHO WERE GRIEVENED BY THE LOSS THEIR BELOVED KATE.

KEVIN"THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR COMING HERE. I DONT KNOW WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO SAY. TODAY I HAD BEEN ASLEEP FOR A LONG TIME , I THOUGHT MY SUNSHINE WOULD WAKE ME UO TODAY.BUT MY WIFE SWITCHED ON THE LIGHTS TO WAKE ME UP.WHEN I LOOKED OUTSIDE THE VERANDA THERE WAS NO LIGHT THAT SHINED YESTERDAY.IT FELT COLD LIKE IT WAS WINTER MORN. THE BIRDS THAT CHIRPED BEFORE BRINGING A SMILE TO MY FACE,WERE MAKING NOISES AND I REALISED NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME.I JUST WISH THAT IT WAS ME IN PLACE OF HER. I LOVED HER SO MUCH. SHE WAS MY PRIDE, MY CHARM, I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I HELD HER, HER FIRST CRY, HER FIRST LAUGH ,I REMEMBER EVERYTHING. THE ONLY SOURSE OF SOLACE IS THE THOUGHT THAT SHE MUST HAVE REUNITED WITH HER MOTHER. MAY BE THEY BOTH ARE RIGHT HERE. KATE IF YOU ARE LISTENING TO ME THEN I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU ONE THING THAT DADDA LOVES YOU. YOU ARE AN INSEPERABLE PART OF OUR FAMILY,YOU WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED."

HIS VOICE CHOCKED AS HE SAID"PARDON ME,I AM JUST GETTING EMOTIONAL,I WILL BE BACK"

(KEVIN LEAVES THE HALL, CLAIRE GOES AFTER HIM)

"WHY WILL GOD DO THIS TO ME AGAIN,FIRST ARMANDA AND THEN KATE.I THINK I WAS NOT THERE FOR KATE WHEN SHE NEEDED ME.I AM A BAD

FATHER AND A BAD HUSBAND."
