Barb, Please accept my condolences on the loss of Kenny. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I had begun to suspect something was wrong when I didn't get an answer to the Christmas e-mail I sent you. A few minutes ago I decided to try to pull up the Council Bluffs Obits for the last month or so. Kenny's picture was the very first one. I was shocked and saddened. Your family and faith will help you through this sad time. I love you, Your Cousin Danelle Prior Holeyfield
