I will always remember Kenney with a smile on my heart. I would be talking to him and he would have to stop and turn up his hearing aids. I always thought he had the right idea with all the women talking around him here at the senior center. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. I am here for you Betty when you need to talk or a hug. I love you.
