I must admit, when Tree and I turned onto Kyle's street and saw how many cars and people were waiting for him, it was overwhelming and very emotional. I really didn't know any of these people, but felt so touched by their presence and comforted by the amount of support Kyle had in his home town. It made it difficult for me to take many photographs, so Brian Barbieri contributed significantly to this post with some beautiful images.

Kyle shakes hands with people gathered to greet him when he came home - he went around and shook hands and hugged everyone who was there to support him. It was a wonderful home coming.
