Not sure what to say?





I had the pleasure of meeting Kenny in 2005 by one of his best friends. He was very nice, honest, & funny. He had a great smile & it would really light up a room. I pray that God keeps his family & friends close & that his memories may give you comfort in your time of need.

I had the pleasure of going to school with Kenny. My mother and aunt were also good friends with his dad. Kenny was such a kind and gentle soul with such a big heart. Much love and prayers going out to his family and up in the air for him. You are missed friend and may you rest in peace <3

I first met Kenny when he & Joey were taking swimming lessons many yrs ago with our grandkids (swimming taught by Marlene Robbins & Mary Sanchez)- I'm sure there is no need to tell how sweet those boys always were...and grew into manhood that way- I remember one day at the library..when he was having his mom help him get ready/dressed for a senior class end of year event- She was SO PROUD of him..and he was as teddy bear sweet that day as he always was- Our grandchildren too are very upset by this sad news- I pray that all of you can find comfort in treasured memories of him as you picture him now resting in the Arms of Jesus-

Video games until late into the night. The "hotel" tent in Boy Scouts. Your face when I brought Pizza for ya'll. You coming to the house to borrow tools (you always brought them back). Trying to get the water back on at your house over the tree trunk after one of the hurricanes, The Marquis, the van, the Buick, the Dodge Ram. The (teddy bear) hugs at the supermarket, (you could always tell when I needed one). The way you told me "It's gonna be ok". The funeral service was one of a kind today. I know you saw it, I could feel your presence, and I know you are so proud of everyone that had anything to do with it.. Rest In Peace, Kenny. We've got your watch now..
I Love You, and will NEVER forget you...

Budda, where do I begin. I met u in boy scouts and our friendship grew from there. You were my best friend and I have so many fond memories of you that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I couldn't have asked for a better person to make those memories with. Brother, you will be missed by many because you touched so many lives. Now get in your crown Vic, turn on your lights, and go cut doughnuts up in heaven. Until we meet again, I love you homes.

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.
