My love and prayers to Catherine, Cara and the Bounds family. I have such fond memories, and especially treasure the memory of hiking to the top of the upper deck at UT Memorial Stadium just to say 'hi, Mr. Bounds.' Knowing that "Kennet" is in the loving and warm embrace of our Father and Savior brings comfort as we grieve the loss of his presence on earth.
