I can't remember the date sixteen years ago or what you wore,or what the weather was like on the day we met.
Yet, I will always remember the times, the wonderful times we shared together, too wonderful to forget...
I will truly miss you.

My memories of my cousin go back some years...from sleep overs on Whitcomb St to hanging out on Hunt Ave and life in between. I remember your return from the service and your "flash" sense of style. It didn't matter how long it was between our visits, our conversations always continued where we left off as if it were yesterday. Pee Wee, I will miss your warm words and smile.
To my family
“[Jesus Comforts His Disciples] "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.”- John 14:1-3

I can recall Audrey proudly holding her infant, Pee Wee, in her arms and Kenny standing behind her, just beaming with his thumbs in his suspenders. He was deeply loved.
I recall tutoring him in math. He was determined.
I recall our many intimate conversations, as did he when I
visited him. He was sensitive and introspective.
When he talked about his children, his face was radiant. He loved and was proud of them.
On December 25th he went home. His suffering is over. He fought a good fight. His work is done.
Praise be unto God!
Lovingly your cousin,

When we first met we fussed, and later we became good friends forever. I am glad that you are not suffering any more it broke my heart out in quiet tears. That evening we spent in the halls over McGuire with that smile on your face says it that you knew that it was your time to leave us all with love and happiness, plus all the good memories to share to all.. My brother you rest now in peace and pimp all the way to heaven.with a smile on your face!!!!!

I attended Mosby Elementary school with Kenneth when he played in the band. We were friends then, he always could make you laugh and have fun.
To the family, Kenneth will live on in your hearts and in your memories.
Be strong and be encouraged, for God has said he will never leave or forsake you.

God saw him getting tired,
and a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around him
and whispered, "Come with Me."
With tearful eyes we
watched you slowly fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
we would not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
your hard-working hands put to rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.

I'm going to miss you!!!
