Dear family,
My sincere condolences to each of you. It seems so unfair that death should have the power to take away someone we love. And when it happens, the thought of never again being able to talk to, laugh with, or hold that loved one can be almost too difficult to bear. How loving of our Heavenly Father to provide comfort in the scriptures. The Bible's resurrection accounts teach us that the persons who were resurrected were reunited with their loved ones-John chapter 11. Other support for this hope is found at Luke 7:11-15 and Luke 8:49-56.
The Bible also teaches that God's purpose is to restore the whole earth to it's original paradise state-Psalms 37:10,11,29. So our loved ones will be resurrected into a world free of war, crime, sickness and hate. Isn’t this a beautiful thing to look forward to?
With sincerest sympathy,

Kenneth & Sophie

As already manifested by the remarkable comments listed here, Kenny will leave a void in many, many lives and hearts. I am fortunate that our paths crossed, allowing the opportunity to share many laughs and smiles together, as he did with so many. Kenny definitely had a positive and refreshing outlook on life.

Dear Zammit Family:

My deepest sympathies are with you during this difficult time. I've known Kenny for about 25 years and one of the best things I remember about him was his smile and infectious laugh. My partner, David, continued to cut Kenny's hair until the end, so I was able to hear how he was doing through him. He will truly be missed by all who knew him. Bless you all.

Please know my surprise when I opened the Houston Home Journal today and found one of the Zammit boys had passed away. I am just sorry that it did not appear earlier so that I could have visited during visitation and the service. It has been one of the highlights of my life to have worked with so many of the Zammit boys. I can honestly say that there was not a bad one in the bunch. They were a complete delight to work with. I share in your loss and wish you God's speed. Just remember, we will all be together again. This is just a temporary set back. Love each one of you.

Mrs. Zammit & Family,
I am very sorry to learn of your loss.Please know that your family will be in our family's thoughts and prayers in the days & weeks ahead.Your family was a big part of my growing up on Elko Rd.I am sharing a poem with you that was shared with me when my brother passed away last year.

A Letter From Heaven
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
