To the Kenneth Melanson family.
Kenny and I were very close as kids
many years ago. We lost track of each other over the last 34 years, do to life, time and distance.
Even though, all of you (our Family) were never lost in our Prayers.
Kenny always had a very good heart and I know that God has a special Place in Haven for him. I also know that we will all have that special chance to be with him again some day.
May God Bless all of you always,
Siripan & Maurice Melanson, Houston Texas
