Dear JoAnn and family. I felt so sad to hear about Kenny. I heard about it yesterday and it was to late to come. Kenny and I were girlfriend and boyfriend for a long time. I have a lot of great memories and pictures of Kenny. I enjoyed the whole family, and being around Kenny everyday. You were all wonderful to me and i will never forget you. I was also sad to hear about Clarence and Diane. We will all see them again someday soon. Love and miss you all. God Bless. Janice
