Mrs. Kennedy and family,
We are so sorry for your loss. I remember Mr. Kennedy helping us many times when we were broke down and stranded. What I remember most about him was his kindness toward animals, having a big heart for any stray he found when out on calls.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

The Diamond Family,
Donald, Tonya, Dwayne Allen, and Anthony

Mrs. Kennedy and family, we are so sorry for your loss. Mr. Kennedy was also so helpful to anyone needing a tow or broken down vehicle. He helped up when stranded many times. I remember his kindness to animals the most, having a big heart to strays he found when out on calls. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.

Love,
The Diamond Family
