Mrs. Rayl and family,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Having only met Kenny a few times, I was always blessed by his love for Jesus, his commitment to sharing the message of Christ, personally and through his support of others. Both of you have been wonderful servants of Him and have blessed many people through your faithfulness! God comfort you at this time of loss. We at Echoing Hills appreciate all you have done for us!
