Janis, Reed and Brenda,
I never had the pleasure of meeting your Mother but now feel as if I knew her. From the wonderful tribute paid to her at the service today I could tell that she was a remarkable lady. Please accept my sympathy to you and your families as you face the coming days.

Mr and Mrs Kennedy hold a special place in my heart. I listened to many stories from Mr. Kennedy how he met the love of his life. The love that Mr. Kennedy and Mrs. Kennedy showed for one another was the kind that inspire poems and love songs. My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time. Please know that Mrs. Kennedy will live on in the numerous stories that I tell my children about an amazing couple that I was fortunate enough to have met.

I am so sorry to learn of your loss. I know that your Mother was ready for her rest. She has struggled and fought the good fight for a while now. May God Bless you all as you get back to the hard part of living without her. May God's loving arms comfort you all as only he can do.

Much Love,
