Not sure what to say?

Dear Julius, Maggie and Ernest,
Stay lifted up and prayer, God will always be on your side. Peace be within your lives. Deborah

Dear Alonzo Kenney Family, Remember you are a family, always as the good book say's honor your father and mother and your days will be numbered, just like your dad's; 92 years is a blessed number to be received by Jesus and his army of angels. I will miss playing cards, fatherly advice, laughs, conversations and the help "Pop" gave me. It took me awhile to post this because I was saddened by his passing. I have unconditional love for your dad and I hope to have the same for all of you....

Pop, Julius & Shacoby I thank God for you Pop and the memories.

So sorry to hear about yourloss

Ernest, Julius, I knew your dad since I was about 6 years old, his lawn was his love, I often drove by and stopped to say hello when he was mowing his lawn, then he would say , talk to you later I have to finish before it get to dark because I go to bed early. I am going to miss seeing him own the porch and walking around inspecting his yard.

So sorry to see you leave Poppa. You were my friend when times were dark and gray. I hope I get to see you in another way. Your granddaughter Tanzania and I will miss you. My sympathy and support is extended to the Kenney family. I loved Poppa like he was my own Dad. Dr. Cora Butler-Jones

To the Kenney family,
You folks remain our favorite neighbors, always there to help or lend a hand, asking nothing in return. I will miss conversations with Mr. Kenney over his fence, joking around and most definitely will miss his watchful presence from his porch chair. He always had a wave, a smile and a dollar for the kids. He is already missed.
Love,
The Moccia family

My sincerest condolences to your family. He was a very good man. We met as part of the neighborhood watch but we became friends. I enjoyed stopping by and listening to his stories of his life and his family. We would talk about cars,driving,his family,and his life. He will be missed here in our neighborhood and in my life.
