Dear Anna, Niki, Erin, and Tyler,

I am so sorry to know of Kenny's passing. Albeit, many years between our reunions, he has always been a kind and gentle soul. Having walked the journey you are now on, my heart goes out to you. I pray the Holy Spirit provides comfort to you and the children. I pray that in time the Lord will give you Godwinks as glimpses of the Lord's reassurance and sweet remembrances of Kenny. Praying for you all.

Grew up with Kenny and his brother Jimmy because I lived across the street from them. A very fine man and father. Will be sorely missed.
