Kenlyn was a fantasctic friend & homemaker of some expertise!. She taught me many cooking tips over the years. She was also very quick to praise another's efforts. I always remember that she complimented my bread as having the perfect swirl in the dough. She was a lovely woman who will be missed.

Even though I knew she was not doing well and kind of saw it coming, and though it is a blessing she is no longer suffering, I was still saddened to hear of Kenlyn's passing. She was a wonderful woman and a great example. She will be greatly missed by many. My sympathies, love, and condolences to the Christenot family and friends of Kenlyn. Hugs! May you be comforted at this difficult time and 'til you meet again.

Dear George and Family, We are so saddened by the loss of our Kenlyn. Kenlyn really belonged to all of us; she was always there for each and every person who was in her life. Words cannot say what the heart feels. She left an eternal legacy through her example, charitable actions and unconditional love. Still with us in spirit, Kenlyn blessed you, George, with your daughters and "sons" plus grandchildren that will carry on her legacy. Steve and I will see you tonight to leave our love and support to you and your family. Love, Sue and Steve Pitts

I am sad to hear of Kenlyn's passing. We were good friends while in Monrovia Ward and at BYU. I lost track of her when we went our ways but never lost the good memories. I always knew that she would go on to be a great lady. My sympathies.

Dear Christenot Family,
Kenlyn, wife, mother, grandmother and friend, will be missed greatly. Her loyal friendship meant so much to me. She stood by and supported me during a very difficult year when I lost my beloved, Sam, and I literally could have not kept things going without her. I have so many cherished memories of working, traveling and just being and laughing with Kenlyn. She will always be remembered dearly in my heart!

Dear George, Girls and family, Our hearts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. We are so grateful for the gospel knowledge that we will see her again, but it is still hard to miss them now! Kenlyn was such a great lady and a wonderful example to me of dedication to family and wonderful service to all around her. I love her and wish we could be there Friday. Carmen is overdue with baby #4 and I am the designated help, Steve is in TX at a conference so there is no way we can be there in person. Know we are there in spirit with you. We love you!

Dear family, I am so sorry to hear about Kenlyn. We had some special times working together as docents at the Camarillo Ranch House. She had beautiful Victorian dresses. She enjoyed wearing them and teaching the history very much. We know she is in a better place.

Sometimes we teach people without realizing it and Kenlyn did that. Kenlyn showed me that it was possible to love and care for your family while working outside of the home and loving that job as well. She is the first woman that I saw as a "working" woman. She had so much energy and I wondered at times how she was able to do it all. She was amazing to an impressionable kid growing up around the block from her. My thoughts are with you the Christenot family at this time. I feel so blessed that I was able to have her example in my life.

I saw this in the newspaper this morning. I know that she is with Heavenly Father now, but it was still shocking to see it. I love her so much!!!!! Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I have known you all my entire life!!!!! I love you all so much and you have my sympathies at this difficult time. I will see you all on Friday!!!!

Love,
Alisa Miles Hunt
