Memories and Condolences
for Kenneth Gillis
July 24, 2010
Kenny, it has been a week now and I still think of you everyday.I know you are with all the people we loved and loved you, so there is comfort in that. I hope I never forget the sound of your laughter,or how many smiles it made happen. No matter how down a person felt, or what was going on, your laugh would just light up a room and ease a sad heart. Please know that Kyla is on everyones mind, I heard your family vow to keep her close to them. Just like all through my life whenever I saw you, I could talk to you forever, but I know I have to say goodbye. So I will see you later,thank you for all the love and happiness you brought into my life. Cheryl

Kenny always had a smile. I remember many great times but, Kenny's favorite was the Annual Devils Lake Party. I will drop a flower in the lake for Ken the next time I pass through the park.

To the Gillis Family,
Kenny was a precious son, loving brother, dad, uncle & a dear friend to everyone. Although we may not understand God's intentions for Kenny, we know that he is now with his son & his nephews. I pray that your family continues to trust his wisdom and that he will give you the strength to endure this difficult time. I look forward to the day we will reunite with Kenny in heaven & see & hear his unique laugh once again. I am so sorry & my heart & prayers will always be with your family.

My Gillis family:
I love you all so much. I wish there was more I could do than tell you that and tell you how sorry I am that you have to go through this. You all know I couldn't love you more than if you were really my Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles.
Kenny was such a happy, generous and loving person. He fought the best he could to stay with us longer. I will miss him and do my best to take the best of him and carry it with me every day by being a kinder and more loving person.
God Bless Kenny and I pray for all of you, all of us and everyone that knew Kenny. I pray Kenny is with all that passed before him, making jokes and laughing until all of Heaven laughs with him. Just like we all did.
I love you
Jolene
