Dear Sheila and Reggie,
My thoughts and prayers are with you both and my heart is aching for your lost. Please find comfort in knowing God will be with you through it all -- day and night -- when the phone calls stop -- when the cards are no more. God will never leave you nor forsake you.
Love
Linda

To the entire family of the late
"William Kenneth Bennett"
What a priveledge and honour to befriend such a loving family. I will always cherich the many fun times @ Grandma Cooks on Chicago Street (and you know there were many). My prayer is that you will look to GOD to encourage your hearts today, tomorrow and forever. As the scripture shares; "No man knows the day or the hour, when the son of man shall appear" and if we believe this we are encouraged to atune our hearts to his, so when he does appear, we shall be ready to spend eternity with him.
Continue to be strenghthen in JESUS the CHRIST!!

To Sheila, ReRe and Reggie;
I know the tremendous void you feel in heart, but know that Kenny is in a better place. GOD has come for one of his Angels and that you all have that Angel looking over you. Kenny will truly be missed. David and Michael talked about how he would always play football in the streets with them when we lived down the street and how much he made them laugh. Please know that my family and I are here for all of you whenever you need us. We will keep you in our prayers.

To my second Family, it saddens me to see such a bright future be taken away from us. To Deidre, Sharie, Sheila and Reggie a great void has come into your lives as well as mine, Kenny will always be a tremendous memory to me for he was like my first nephew and to see him grow up with my daughter as a big brother and big cousin it saddens me to see him leave us so early in life. But rest assure God has him now. Deidre I don't know you that well but if you ever need someone to talk to I'm here for you. To Sharie Auntie Yvette and Big Chelle will always be there for you. And to my Sister and good friend Sheila we have seen the ins and outs of our sons and have gone through the struggles with them, my prayers and my arms are open for you. Whenever your feeling down look upon the love that he shared with you, his wife, daughter and brother that he blessed you all with a very special pieces of him. I love you all and to Reggie hold your head up proudly and don't fret cause Kenny would want you to continue on and to keep the Family together.
God Bless you all
Your sister in Christ,
Yvette
