Eddie,
I don't know if you will remember me or not, but we went to school together. I was reading here that your brother has passed away and just wanted to tell you how sorry I am for you and your whole family.

Kenny was the first man to ever serve me a drink on my 21st Birthday, he busted me before when I was 20 using a fake ID when Dudley's was on King. Kenny I remembered for many years after, and always was glad to see him when I went to Dudley's on Ann St. Kenny will remain missed, but not forgotten.

Dear Family,
It has not been long since we were last with each other due to the death of another family member. Kenny has always, in one way or another, defeated and surpassed all obsticals that tried to befall him. Kenny is now at peace. No longer does he have to fight for his life anymore. I know what you are going through. My prayers and love always.
