My Loving Son,
It does not seem as though 4 years has passed since you took your journey to your Heavenly home. I visited with 2 of your many friends at All Saints Day Services on Sunday at Hope Haven.
Terry and I went to put up a new candle for you today, and under your bench was a single red Rose someone had left for you. My mind knows that you are in a better place than all of us here. But my Heart wants you to be here.
Although you have not met, Reed knows who you are by your picture. His Baby sister is on the way. Reese Marie is scheduled to arrive in mid February.
Have you seen Ms. Gloria yet? She died August 1st. This was a shock to all. She was such a beautiful loving person in and out. She also thought that you were such a sweet loving person.
I Love and Miss You Very Much

It's hard to image that it's been 4 years since you've gone. I remember hearing the news like it was yesterday. It's a good thing I was sitting down because I would have fell if not. We were at Mrs. Norma's wake and the person telling my mom about your mom getting to come but not being able to stay long, didn't know that I knew you. And seeing as you were the 4th person to die within 5 days, it was almost to much to handle. I have to admit I was mad and hurt with you for while. I realized that you had to have known when I saw you that last time at the doctors office & Walmart and you didn't say anything. It took me a long time to get passed it. And to stop being mad at myself for not getting in touch with you like my gut was telling me to those last few months before you passed. But when I finally did, I understood that that was you. You could see how happy I was and you didn't want to spoil that for me. But when I think about it now, I think I did know or knew something was wrong, it was in your eyes that last look when we said goodbye. If I close my eyes, I can still see your face and that smile. Oh that wonderful smile. I still remember the fun times at CQ's and the long talks at work. That was a rough day when I realized CQ's was gone. I didn't know it was being demolished and hadn't pass in the time that they were doing it. Then one day I pass and it's just gone. I had to pull over because I couldn't see the road for all the tears. It was almost like losing you again. But just like you, it's never far away, I just have to close my eyes and remember the good times. It's hard to believe, I didn't think it was possible but I have a new friend that can finishes my sentences and I finish her's. The first time it happened was so weird because I'm looking at her but in my mind I'm seeing your face and all the times we'd do that. Even though she can never be you, it's nice to have that kind of person in my life again. Especially with my life as crazy as it is right now, I've thought of you often and yea I know you're there, but it's nice to have a person who talks back. And I might have found someone to talk to but I still haven't found anyone to dance with. I miss you so my friend. You were the best kind of friend any person could wish to have. You made people feel special just being around you. If only the world would have more like you. And even though it's not possible to have you back or change things so as not to know you & have the hurt & sorrow now, I am so very glad that I had as a friend. I guess it's time I closed, this was just suppose to be a quick note to say hi, I love you and miss you still but before I do, let me thank you for being such a great friend, for all the fun times, good talks and great laughter and best of all that wonderful smile. I will miss you always friend. You are in my heart forever.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

It's been 3 long years. We all miss you dearly. There's not a day that goes by we don't think about you. I have been speaking to so many of your friends,friends that are mine also that did not know I am your older sister. So many crazy storys that make me cry and laugh. Every one says how much of a caring person you were. Keep watching over us as I call you our guadian angel. O have you seen our family friend (Mr. Charlie)? I'm sure he has a few practical jokes waiting. Watch out! Sending hugs and kisses

I miss my friend. We worked together for a year in 1994. Kenny made an unforgettable impression that will always remind me of his humility and kindness. I lost track of him in the late 90's and didn't know he passed on until this year when I sat at his mother's desk and saw his photo. Now that I have met Ms. Amanda, I know where Kenny got his kindness from. I will always remember my friend.

June 6th, on one of your out of state jobs in Iowa, while on your way to work an oncoming vehicle passed two other vehicles causing a head on collision with you. We were called at 10:00AM. By 2:00PM we were on a flight to Iowa. Your Red Dodge Ram Charger was totaled. Looking at the vehicle it seemed you should not have made it through the collision, but miraculeously you did. Going through your papers I came across the letter you wrote to an attorney regarding the accident. It took a few years but it finally was settled.
I miss you every day, today is a hard one.
I LOVE YOU

Easter has come and gone. Richard, Jr. had cooked the main course we all brought a little something to go with it. Miss you so very much.

I posted a picture today. My niece emailed it to me and I was completely caught off gaurd when I saw it. It was taken in July of 2004. I spent the whole day going back to it and opening it so I could see his face again. Every time I did, I heard his laugh and I felt him next to me. You never know how much a person is going to mean in your life. He meant everything to me. He was my best friend and my right hand. Losing him changed the course of my life, but so did knowing him.
I want to thank you Tom, for sharing him with me. I know he was your greatest love and I am so happy the two of you had each other and that I had you both. It truly was the perfect relationship, you being his husband and me his wife :)

Son,
Surprise, Its a Boy,
It seems that Your Great Nephew wanted to arrive earlier then he was supposed to. He was born today Jan. 17, at 8:55AM. He gave all a little worry, but He and Mom Rani and Dad Richard, Jr. are doing well. So now Denise is a Grandmother can you believe that? And I am a Great Granny (G.G.).
You are to be his special Angel.
His name is Reed Thomas James.
You are so missed,
I Love You,

You were and always will be a huge part in my life. You were the only person i could not stay mad at; you could always put a smile on my face. You were a great paren, uncle, son, grandson, friend, and an all around GREAT person I cant believe it makes a year today. I still just think you are on a long vacation and you on coming home soon, and let me borrow your truck. I will always treasure EVERYTHING you have given me weather its an item or just a good hearted "PAREN" lesson i hated those but now i know i need to listen to those and miss those dearly. You will always, ALWAYS be in my heart! And in my memories. You will keep being missed. I love you and miss u very much!
Love always your only niece

My Dearest Son,
One year ago today our Heavenly Father called you home. It does not seem that long ago. Time goes by so quickly.
Family and friends attended Mass for you at St. Marks Chapel this morning.
"All Saints Day" has a new meaning for me now. At Hope Haven there are two benches for any who want to sit and visit. There are 3 lanterns that glow at night, reminds me of New Orleans. I think you would approve of them.
I Love and Miss you so much.

Just wanted to write something here, not sure yet what it is I want to say, but to let you know that you are missed by many, and we all think of you a great deal. I want to also thank Mr. Terry and Amanda for inviting me to your 40th blowout birthday celebration. Wish you could have been there, but you were in spirit, and I realize that. I could almost hear the laughter at the table during and after dinner. We all love ya, buddy!!

Forty years ago today on June 15, 1965 at 6:11 PM God sent a third addition to our family, A Beautiful Baby Boy Angel to add to the two beautiful girl angels, Sisters, Denise Marie and Donna Marie. You weighed 6lb 10oz. We named you Thomas Michael Kenney, Jr. You were called "Lil Tommy" most of your life. We are blessed to have had you with us for over 39 years.
We are getting together tonight to celebrate for you, You wanted to have a 40 Over the Hill Bash, You are there, Heaven is as high as you can go.
For those who did not have a chance to meet or know him, he lived a liftime in those so short years taking care of and administering wherever he needed to. Making a multitude of friendships and folowers along the way. Many of his friends Mothers wanted to adopt him along the way, but he always lovingly assured me that I was his "One And Only".
A proud Mother I am.
Son, I wanted to have you longer here on Earth, but it seems God had other plans for you. I know that you are in Jesus' company now and are being taken care of in a special way.
To My "ONE and ONLY"
I wish you a Very Special 40th Happy Birthday today. I carry you in my Heart always.
From Your "ONE and ONLY"
I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH,

Hey Tommy,
I know it's been a while since I wrote in here last... i think I try to avoid it because It's so hard. It's just that you were so much in my life. You were more than just a "Father figure" to me.You were someone i could go to for love and kindness(not all the time), but most of it lol. I just miss you so much... I think about you all the time..everything i do reminds me in some way of you.. I get in my car and i feel like nothing and no one can hurt me when im there it feels like my security, because i know it was YOU who fixed it for me and made it work. I know your always there watching me all the time i can feel you there... It drives me nuts because i look around for someone and no ones there, but i know it's you because you knew how the drove me crazy... But i think i can learn to cope with it as long as its you. You were an amazing person and no one and nothing will ever take your place with me because you were my everything. I loved you with everything i had..I wouldn't be even close to the person i am had you not been in my life through all of the good and bad. I just hope each day that i can live my life as you did...fun and live in the moment... You always did that... I know that you know how much you mean to me... even though your not here in person i know you're with me all the time... and I miss you so much... I wish i could turn back time for that one last hug... Im getting ready to go to Prom.. im so excited and I know if you were here you would be just as excited about it as I am if not more lol. My dress is really pretty you would love it. When i get my pictures back i'll come and leave you one. This is a big thing for me and I wish that you were here so that i could my happiness with you... I always did that homecomming, mardi gras ball, any and everything you were there sharing my happiness.. You were the only other guy that would do that because i know my dad tries but he could NEVER amount to the way it was with you.. You were ALWAYS there.... I still talk to you all the time in my car... TO see you smiling back at my in the picture of us on my dash makes me smile..Oh that smile.. It was so full of joy and happiness... I miss it so much... I miss you more than ANYTHING! it's so complicated now still because its so hard for me to except it. It still doesnt makes sense... it just so hard for me to get close to anyone because i dont want them to leave me... You and i had a bond like no one could have... we laughed and joked all the time, but knew when to get serious... you were ALWAYS there and no your not and its still hard for me.... because i can't call you up at 2 in the morning and cry on the phone to you about all my issues... like i used to.. and you not there to sit and laugh and listen and make fun of me.... I miss you soo soo soo much... i know you ok now though... and I know you're always here with me... I'll never forgett all that you did for me... I love you so much and Im so in complete with out you here... I love and miss you more than anything... My Best friend... My Dad.... My everything
I love you and Miss you SO!

A CARD SENT FROM A FRIEND,
Safe in God's Keeping
I am Home in Heaven, dear ones,
Oh! so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this Everlasting Light
All the pain and grief are over,
Every restless yearning past;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely Home in Heaven at last.
Dear ones do not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust Our Father's Will.
When your work is all completed
He will gently call you Home,
Oh! the rapture of that meeting!
Oh! the joy to see you come!
CENACLE PRAYER
Embrace Your Memories;
I DO

Tommy,
I talk to you often. Hope you can hear me. I had a dream that you and my grandmother were together. I also saw you holding Prissy. I really hope you are talking to me in my dreams. It was so real. I miss you terribly. I don't get to talk to Tom very much. He is really working hard last time I spoke with him. I am going to try to go out to eat with him soon. I also saw your mother. She is doing the best that she can. I see you through her eyes. You wouldn't believe it but I went to the cemetary and then went out to eat. My waiter's name was Tommy. He was wearing one of those yellow bracelet that says livestrong. It is to benefit cancer research. I really think you were with me in spirit that evening. I need you to give me some type of closure if you can. I wasn't able to go to your funeral so I don't feel that you left us. If I could only talk to you what would you tell me? I know that life goes on. But to me your still here. I need to let go and be happy. Help me do this. I really miss you and love you. Always in my heart you will be.
Your friend.

If we could hear him...this is what he would say
I'M STILL HERE
Friend, please don't mourn for me
I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day
and within your heart I long to stay.
My body is gone but I'm always near.
I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
as long as you keep me alive in your heart.
I'll never wander out of your sight-
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach-
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.
I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around
and the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond,
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.
I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring,
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
and you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.
When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
you can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
and you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.
I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
Just look for me, friend, I'm everyplace!

I miss you, Tommy. You were my hopes and dreams, my whole world, my Love.
* * * * * * * *
A hundred days have made me older
since the last time that I saw your perfect face.
A thousand lights have made me colder,
and I don’t think I can look at this the same.
But all the miles that separate,
They disappear now when I’m dreaming of your face
I’m here without you baby
but you’re still on my lonely mind.
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time.
I’m here without you baby
but you’re still with me in my dreams,
And tonight it’s only you and me
The miles just keep rollin
as the people leave their way to say hello.
I've heard this life is overrated
but I hope that it gets better as we go.
Everything I know,
and anywhere I go,
it gets hard but it won’t take away my love.
And when the last one falls,
when it’s all said and done,
it gets hard but it won’t take away my love.
I’m here without you baby
but you’re still on my lonely mind.
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time.
I’m here without you baby
but you’re still with me in my dreams.
And tonight, my Love, it’s only you and me

Tom,
I think of you always but especially today. I know this is the anniversary of the day that you and Tommy began the journey of your lives together. I am so grateful that y'all were able to share the years that you did and I know how wonderful they were for you both. After years of searching Tommy had finally found his home and it was with you.
Love You

I feel so fortunate to have known Tommy these past few months. His courage, kindness, thoughtfulness, and sense of humor has help me deal with life's little obsticles in a more positive manner. I will miss Tommy, but will be constantly reminded of him through his wonderful friends and family that surrounded him.
With Much Love, Johnny

Tommy was one of the kindest, most genuine people I have ever met. He loved life and it truly showed. I cannot recall a single time when he was not smiling or making someone else smile. He touched so many lives and I am grateful to be one of them. I know that he is now in a far better place and that he is still touching our lives in ways we cannot imagine. He will live forever in our hearts and our memories. God bless you, Tommy!

Amanda, my thoughts and prayers are with you on the loss of a son and a very special person. I saw Donna in the store yesterday and all of a sudden the thoughts of Tommy came flashing through my mind. He was such a loving, giving and caring person. Never had a bad thing to say about anyone. Tommy always had a hug for me when we would see each other--in the store, on the street, wherever--and had time to bring me up to date on things in his life. Tommy is a person you never forget. Thank you, Amanda, for giving birth to such a wonderful person and giving us a chance to be a part of his life even though it was a small part.
Tommy was an angel on earth and is looking down on us now as an angel in heaven.
Prayers and thoughts,
Ronnie Kesler (Formerly Martinez)

For my best friend:
A friend is someone who loves you for being yourself. You don't have to impress or fake your feelings around that person. Being there no matter what time or day it is. Dropping what you are doing and being there to help you when your down. Especially giving your opinion of what you think whether you like it or not. Tommy, you were and are the best friend I will ever have. I can't love you no more than I have. You were as close to a brother that you could be. We shared so many experiences together. Laughed and cried together. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I have a song by Tim Mcgraw that reminds me of you. It's called My Best Friend. It's on his latest CD. When you died apart of me died with you. I wish that everyone could experience what it's like to have had a friend like the friendship that we shared. Even today I talk to you. I think what you would tell me when certain situations occur. It makes me laugh and cry. You were always honest with me. You loved me and my family. My children loved you too. They asked me why you died. I told them that the angels needed you in heaven and that you were taking care of all the people in heaven. Brandon said that you would do a good job. You touched so many people in your life time. Even cared about people that didn't care about themselves. I am so grateful for the family and friends that surrounded you with their love and kindness while you were ill. You were truly a guy to look up to. I have my memories and pictures of you until we meet again. You'll be that guardian angel that you once gave me. "A guardian angel for you to wear, to protect and guide you and show you that I care".
To my buddy, my pal, my friend.
From your buddy, your pal, your friend. I will forever love you!
Your friend Melissa.

Paren, oh I miss you so much. I wish this wouldn’t have happened to you. You were always there for me whenever I needed you no matter what it was. You went to all of my dance recitals. Its funny how me and Katie remember this but, we remember riding home from a dance recital and we were I think in the 5th grade and in your old truck and you played the song “Jeremiah was a bull frog”, and we all sang it at the top of our lungs. You even went to the jambalaya pageant I entered, and you were still proud of me even though I didn’t win. Not to long after that we were on the roads and you took me to get my friend some flowers and a get well present because she had surgery. And we went see maw maw Boo, You let me drive your truck on the back roads and I didn’t even have my permit. You trusted me that I knew what I was doing and that I wasn’t going to wreck your truck. Now when I look out my window I still see that truck because you told everyone not to touch it that it was left for me. And that means so much to me. We were on the way to eat at chili’s for aunt Denise’s birthday and I asked my mom what we were going to do with your truck. And that’s when she told me that u left it for me. I started to cry because it meant so much for me to know that you wanted me to have your truck the one you traveled in to go wherever god wanted you to go. And I guess god needed you in heaven because that’s where you are now. Just looking down on your family and friends. You lived a great life you were always happy and helping everyone out before helping yourself. Mandi told me the other day that that’s where I get it from because I am always helping my friends out before helping myself. And I laughed and cried because its true I do get it from you. I will never forget the times we had together, I love you and miss you so much!
Love your one and only niece,

It takes courage to love life. Loving it demands imagination, perception and acceptance... And loving it takes something more besides… it takes a gift for life, a gift for love.
Tommy had the gift. He loved and appreciated life so much. Tommy was the world to us. He was my friend, my ally and my right arm when it came to raising my girls. We are so blessed to have had him in our lives. Losing him has been so difficult but in it there is so much opportunity. There are so many lessons to be learned from his life and the way he lived it.
We are always saying goodbye in this world, always standing at the edge of loss attempting to retrieve some memory, some meaning, from the silence -- something that was precious but
now is gone.
Once the moment is gone, it cannot be recreated. For this reason we all need to live the way Tommy did. He lived with honesty, whether we liked it or not, laughter, kindness, trust, unconditional love, passion and no fear. This way we will honor his life, the lessons we learned from him and hopefully teach them to other people.
My life was forever changed by you Tommy. I miss you so much….

Tommy was a wonderful, kind person. He always had a huge smile on his face. I last saw Tommy at our 20th High School Graduation in October 2003. Tommy and I became friends in 4th grade and we graduated together in 1983. One funny thing I remember was that on the first few days of school each year the teachers would call him Kenney Thomas. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Words cannot express the loss that I have experienced in the death of Tommy Kenney jr. He was a great friend and I will cherish the wonderful memories that we shared. The world won't be the same without him, but his memory and character will live forever in my heart and mind. Thank you Tommy for being you, that Wonderful YOU!!

GIVING THANKS FOR TOMMY
Tommy Kenney’s life was a life well-lived. No one else did it quite like him.
Tommy truly gave his life to everyone he touched. Tommy experienced more in his 39 years and gave more and became more than most of us can ever hope.
He wanted to set everyone’s world right. When some around him couldn’t hold up their own lives, Tommy was there to pull them back on the path. He was a brother and a son to many, a counselor, a man who you look up to, a respected and responsible man who kept his word and never let you down.
He was a father figure to many children, rocking them to sleep, doing crafts, taking them to ball practice or swimming, teaching them to drive. He gave up his time to care for the elder folks. He put his own needs to the side and was there for you.
The words you read throughout this guestbook are living testimonies about a man well-loved, well-respected and admired. Yet, words fall short of the experience of being a part of Tommy’s life, and words cannot express the sorrow we feel for losing him. Tommy will always live right here in our hearts and memories.

Tommy, my little brother. I miss you so much, they say time will heal but there is not a night that goes by without a tear. You were my little brother, which even came out with my girlfriends and me. Even walked to church on Sunday mornings with Lydia and me. You were always with me. I remember when we moved out together. You were still in school, an honor-roll student. You also worked after school (late nights) to help pay the electric bill, which the next morning was a fight to wake you up, you always wanted to sleep late. We ate a lot of egg sandwiches and egg on rice but TOGETHER we made it. When I would wake you up in the morning, your words were Yeah Yeah, I'm getting up, and go back to sleep. (What’s so funny is that Brandon's actions are some of the same actions that you had.)and another thing is that You and him never meet a stranger.
Tommy, you were always LATE for everything BUT one day it was around 2:00p.m. on my wedding day, that I was getting married at 7:00p.m. You knew I did not pick up my wedding dress. We had to call the store to make sure they were still open and we ran to get my dress. That day you were watching the clock. Everyone that knew Tommy knows he never knew how to tell time. Tommy you were there for everybody and took care of everybody. You also touched so many people in so many different ways. You always done what ever you had to do to help others. I know those gates were open as wide as they could. I know you are in a better place at peace, but it is still hard to know that you are not here with your family. (We went eat for your sister’s birthday and I kept waiting for you to walk in) You are a special angel, and I guess your job here was complete. You did a wonderful job here taking care of everyone, so I know I have a special angel looking over us.
Love you always, your sister

Live a Life That Matters
Ready or not,someday it will all come to an end.There will be no sunrise,minutes,hours, or days.All the things you collected,whether treasured or forgotten,will pass to someone else.Your wealth,fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance.It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.Your grudges,resentments,frustrations and jealousies will finally disapper.so,too,your hopes,ambition,plans and to-do lists will expire.It won't matter where you came from,or were you lived.It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant.So what will matter?How will the value of your days measured?What will matter is not what you bought,but what you built,not what you got,but what you gave.What will matter is not what you learned,but what you taught.What will matter is every act of ,compassion,courage or sacrifice that enriched,or encouraged your example.What will matter is not your competence but your character.What will matter is not how many people you knew,but how many will feel a lasting loss when you're gone.What will matter is not your memories,but the memories that live in those who loved you.What will matter is how long you will be remembered,by whom and for what.Living a life that matters dosen't happen by accident.It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice.
Choose to live a life that matters.

God has Angels on earth to touch each one of us in a very special way and I believe Tommy was one of God's Angels. I will miss him dearly but his work on earth was done and God called him home. While here, Tommy taught all of us how to be a true friend by being gentle, kind, and caring towards everyone he met. Let's live our lives the way Tommy taught us and this world will be a better place. Tommy, I feel blessed by knowing you.

Tommy was like a father to me. He was always there when you needed him. He never let you down when he told you he would do something He ALWAYS did it. He may have been a little late for it but he was ALWAYS there. I am one of the many many lucky people who were Blessed to have Tommy in my life. I know I would not be who I am if it weren't for him. You rarely saw Tommy with out a smile on his face and laughing and cutting up. My 16th Birthday recently passed and I want to thank Mr. Tommy Sr. and also Tommy Jr. Because my mom bought me a car for my birthday which I had NO IDEA about and if it weren't for them Fixing it up just like new I wouldn't have it. Tommy Jr. and Mr. Tommy Sr. worked so hard fixing that car for me and it meant so much when he surprised me and told me , " That's your car". He was the greatest. He also taught me how to drive. Most of the time he would trick me into it, but he did it. I am forever thankful and blessed to have had Tommy and Tom Evans in my Life they are the two greatest people that I know. I am so sorry for the loss of a True Hero, but i Know he is watching over us now, and Laughing when we do stupid little things. He will always be with us.

I was shocked learning the news about L'il Tommy. We were not aware of his illness. We had many "Good Times" with Tommy at Captain's Quarters. Tommy was also a fantastic "Chauffeur" while driving the gang to New Orleans in the limo - Trudy, Lorie, Mona, Tammy, Margarett & Myself. We will all miss him and treasure our memories together. Tommy was a very special person to all of us. Our deepest sympathy to all his family & friends.
We will keep you in our thoughts & prayers,

I just heard about Tommy's passing. I had no idea he was ill. He was always so funny and never had a frown on his face. My deepest sympathy goes out to you all. I know what you are all going through -- it is not easy to loose a brother, and I think about my own brother every day! Always remember, he is now in heaven watching down on everyone, and one day we will all see him again.
Love you all!
