So sorry to hear about your recent loss. Remembering about 50 years ago, our folks playing cards while the four of us played Miss America. Kenny's joyous laughter as they had won a card trick and us older kids getting yelled at for something David had done. Thanks for the memories! Kenny will be missed but not forgotten. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of need. God Bless!
