Mary Ann, Sharon and Sherril, so sorry to hear about Uncle Kenneth and my thoughts are with you. Sharon and Sherril, I fondly remember our times at Cloudcroft "helping" with the building of the cabin and our adventures hilking in El Paso. Uncle Kenneth was a fine man and left a wonderful legacy. I know you will miss him.

Dear Mary Ann and family, We will dearly miss Bro. Kenneth. My parents loved serving with him at the Baptist Publishing House and truly admired his God-given giftings! Lord bless you and comfort you and until we are reunited we continue to trust and wait on the Lord.
