Debbie my prayers are with you and your family. I am Leslie Kenney Gray, Ollie Kenney's granddaughter and I use to go with my grandmother, your mother and Ms. Polly when they use to clean the school buildings. I remember sometimes you and I would play together while they worked. It was many years ago but I still remember. Your mother was a sweet, wonderful lady and she will be missed. I just wanted to send my condolences and to just let you know you and your family are in my prayers. God Bless!

To The Kenney Family
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.

May you find comfort in knowing that earth has no sorrow that Heaven can't heal.

Family members,
I'm deeply sorry to hear of Grace demise. Duck is my first coursin and you all probably do not know me but Grace did and she was always very sweet to me. May God continue to grace your lives with comfort and love.
