Kelvin SYMS Obituary

Dear Gina, Kristin, Karin and Fleur,
I first met Kelvin at Northplan when I was at Sovereign and went in to help him with some initiatives. What struck me most was his compassion and kindness to his team. He completely went out of his way to look after them. As I got to know him better - I saw an extention to that caring side. He was a true gentleman (and a rather trendy one at that!) :) and loved and valued his girls immensely. We spoke about Karins amazing business accumen at such a young age- just like Dad! and Fleur and Kristins creativity. I also got to know Gina through Kelvin and it's fair to say that he was completely besotted with you. You both made me feel welcome in your gorgeous house above Albany and Kelvins death is an incredible loss. Thinking of you all - Big Hugs..Christine xxx

Gina & Family
One of the highlights of my life was when Jack & I met you & Kelvin on our trip to Italy. We became fast friends, as if we had known each forever. It's hard for me to believe that Kelvin is gone almost a year after Jack. It brings me comfort & hopefully you, to know Kelvin is with Jack trying to teach him Kiwi. My love & prayers are with you always. Your Boston friend Jeanne

Dear Gina & family,
Our condolences to you all on your loss.

Dear Gina and Girls
