In loving memory of a wonderful person.
Kendall was friends with my family. Such great memories from working as a teenager for him. He even went with us on my Senior Trip in 1980 to Las Vegas. We had the best seats for every show. You are gone but never forgotten. Give my Dad and Mom a big hug when you see them. Rest In Peace my friend. Alisa Rainey
