November 12, 2025Kevin has not yet shared his musical gift with us as we had to postpone the baby shower because the mother contracted a life-threatening blood clot in her leg. Cami has received excellent health care and is being monitored closely. Her baby shower hopefully will be conducted later this year or early next year. Kevin has been completely understanding of our situation and will be happy to share his musical gift with us at a later time.
