My heart goes out to Kenny's family. I don't even know how to express what my heart is feeling for the people who loved him most, and those who he loved in return. He was one of the nicest people I have ever known and I am filled with sorrow at the loss of him. I just have to hold onto the memories I was lucky enough to have, the friendship he gave to me so long ago... God Bless Kenny, you will be missed.
