Kenn, you were one of the best associates I have known at Wal-Mart in my 1 1/2 years working there. You always had a great attitude, and I am sure that our customers also loved you. You always laughed at my jokes (even the really stupid jokes), and that means a lot right there. You will be sorely missed by all of us. I have heard about how you spoke about Jesus, and I know that you are up there with Him right now. I look forward to seeing you there someday.
