My heart is heavy and I am truly grieved by the passing of my Dear Cousin, Peter, I loved him like a brother. I have rarely seen him since he moved away from home, but my love for him is just as strong as it was when we were growing up. My heart goes out to my Uncle Johnny and the rest of the family because I know that the burden is even heavier to bear, but God has promised in His great Book, " I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you." (John 14:18) He has always kept His promises. I extend my deepest sympathy to Peter's entire family. Know that I love you All.
Sincerely,
Sherry Alfred Kennerson
