Kennard Jr. (Boo)
Lean not to your own understanding doing these times; but, trust in the Lord. Kennard remember the good times you shared over the many years with your father. Some of those times I hold close in my heart and will never let them go. As long as you hold onto him in your heart and spirit you'll never loose him. Kennard Sr., and I shared many good times and will always cherish the memories. A special bond that was lasting and meaningful, to the fact the I have love and kindness for Kennard Sr'., family, you his only son, daughter (such and special joy in his life), grandchildren and the small life we attempted to created. Remember, we are left here to morn, he's in a better space; a place of quiteness and bliss, and place where he can laugh and smile and place where he can relax and rest. Think of him as ones of God's best! He'll want us to keep going, reaching up and never giving up. Continue to make him proud, and never doubt because this was up to God. Peace, and Love. Godd Bless

We the Johnson family are so sorry to hear about the lost of your Father/Grandfather. Our prayers are with you both, that God will give you the strength and peace you need at this time. We pray that the Lord will keep both of you in his powerful, caring hands, as you allow him to guide you from this day forward.

Kennard and Kenique,
I'm really sorry to hear about your Dad. We both know that he is now with God in a better place with his suffering gone. I know how much his pain caused you sorrow and grief, and I can relate having lost my grandparents who raised me and meant so much to me. But, God will never give us more than we can bear. Trust that He is with you through every step in your life.
Your dad will always be with you; his spirit will be part of you no matter where you go. Your dad loved you very much and I know you will miss him terribly.
With my deepest sympathy,
Kimberly & Kristian

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, ""I welcome you.""
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......""My day was not in vain.""
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
