Ms. Agnes and family,
We are so sorry to hear of Kenneth's passing. Mama always said the most difficult was to lose a child. We have you in our prayers.

I can remember when Mike and Ken was hunting and fishing together. It was quite a conversation at times. When they were fishing, Ken gave them names. One was "Bill Dance" and the other was "John Fox". Don't remember which was which, but they had fun anyway. So many memories to last a lifetime. You can rest now my friend! Mike Lee
