So sorry for your loss. I know how much he loved his family and how much his family loved him. Kenna and Mike had such a special bond. She was so lucky to have such sweet memories that you can remind her of as she gets older. There is a empty space down here but he is not in pain anymore and he is watching down with a smile I am sure. Love and prayers to all. Janine, Jerry, jenna and Justine Keblesh
