Blessings to all the family and all who knew and loved Kenny. A sudden passing is so hard to deal with because you feel there is so much left to be said. Kenny will always be with you, so go ahead and tell him those things left unsaid. I believe he will hear them from your heart. Take care of yourselves and each other during this very difficult path that you are walking together.
