So sorry to hear of Kenny's passing. I missed seeing y'all at church, therefore I knew nothing of this.
May God bless you and his memory will be with us forever.

Words are hard to come by to express how sad I am at the passing of Kenny. Kenny was married to my best friend, Tammie, for 47 years. Even though we didn't see one another often, when we did the day was full of laughter and smiles. He was a wonderful husband/partner to Tammie. They were both blessed to have one another. He will truly be missed by all who knew him. RIP Kenny.
