We are very sorry to hear of Uncle Kenneth's passing. He was truly one of a kind and will be greatly missed, not only by his family, but by everyone that knew him. He was always positive and never focused on what he did not have, but on what life had given him. If life gave him lemons, he made lemonade. I think we are all better for having known Kenneth. He was a faithful Christian and chuch member and showed his faith by how he lived his life. May he rest in peace.

Jerry and Marilyn Atkins and Family.
