Even though your loved one is nolonger with you, he is always as close as a memory; just as our God is always as close as a prayer. Phyllis, we will keep you and your family in our prayers.

To the family of Kenya Perry:
My prayers go out to you. Kenya will surely be missed. My fondest memories are of Kenya growing up in the neighborhood, playing kick ball, hide and go seek or just sitting on the curb talking about what we were going to do when we grew up. Having the inocent fun and laughter that we as kids so much enjoyed. Kenya was a sweet, well groaned young man. He always kept himself looking good. His smile is one that I shall never forget. Family during this time of lost allow God to minister to you for it is in him you find strength.
God Bless You

It was a pleasure knowing Kenya, and I actually named my nephew after him. He was a very handsome young man and I will miss him, but he will always be remembered in my heart.

Kenya was a very sweet, soft spoken and polite man. We worked for the same company and I know when he was hired there was nothing but good said about him and his work ethics. He will be missed!!
