Dear Larry, Kim, family and friends,
My deepest sympathy to all of you, especially Larry and Kim, you have had more sorrow than most in a short period of time. Hold tight to the Lord and then to each other, as that can make things somewhat bearable. Cherish every memory of Kerry's life and not the last minutes of his passing. I know how hard that will be, but focus on the good memories. I'm sorry I missed the memorial service, my love goes out to you and know that I am a phone call away. I thank Aunt Gen and Uncle Wes for putting us in the same family by their marriage, your (kissing)cousin. Caroline Reese

Dear Uncle Larry, Kim, Jeff, Jennifer and Family, We are so sorry for your loss of your beloved son Kerry. No words can take away your pain and sorrow, but please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. Kerry, my cousin, left a very memorable impression on me in the small visits we did have. He was very kind and very caring. Those are two very small words, but they mean so much to the people whose lives he touched.. If we strive to be kind and caring, like Kerry...what better tribute to him? His special light and presence can live on in all of us, Forever! I know Kerry "has gained", Uncle Larry, and he does know your pain and sorrow as he sits at the Table with God now.. I think he can help us to gain more strength and faith when we call on him..Please know you are in our hearts and prayers ... With Deepest Sympathy, Catherine(cousin)and Greg Smith and Family, Julia (Kevin) and Sarah and Eddie We Love You All!

I wouldnt trade the memories I have of the time I've spent with kerry for anything. kerry made life fun!!!!
mischief was his middle name, if kerry was at a get together it wasnt going to be a dull one thats for sure.
Farewell old friend and thanks for being my friend!
