To Peggy & the Whitehead family - It's hard for me to remember a time way back when Kenneth wasn't part of my existence. Maybe we were babies in the same crib, along with Charles Floyd. The three of us were little boys, bigger boys and teenagers together. We shared hours of fun and some questionable activities. If you saw one, you saw the other two. I'm so glad to have these memories as part of my life. Kenneth was one of my oldest and best friends and even though life took us along different paths, and I haven't seen him often in the last years, I always knew he was there. I shall miss him. I'm proud to have known him and send you all sympathy and love.

Dear Precious Whitehead Family, and extended family. Tony and I are so heartbroken that we won't see him again here, but I promise we will see him again in Heaven, and it will be very soon! I just can imagine what a beautiful reunion day it was in Heaven when he crossed over. I know my parents went to the river with his loved ones and friends. Please know we love you all so much. God Bless you each and every one.
