This is why I haven't been on at all the past week. I live 4 houses up next to my friend Tim (Kevin's older brother) and we go to High School together. I was second to be on the scene, my dad had screamed for me to get up. I ran down there as fast as I could to see his mom there and I held her as we both watched the house go. It's tragic because my family and theirs have been close and I'm still not fully there. RIP Kevin Boardman.
