Kennedy was such a nice and respectful young man. He was a wonderful example for the younger youth at our church. I will miss seeing him as an acolyte at 10:15.
You should be SO proud of who he was and what he stood for.
You all are in my prayers as you grieve.

My deepest and profound sympathy to the Obilom Family. My prayer is that the love of our God and His peace will comfort you. Please know, that the life that Kennedy lived in this world was a blessing and a joy to all who knew him. I pray that this lesson will be learned by all of us. Let us be a joy and blessing to all until the time when we will go to place where Kennedy will be waiting for those who he left behind and there will be no more weeping.

Dearest Philip and CeCe and family:
I was so disturbed when I saw on the news that this beautiful child could belong to you .... Obilom is not a common name.
My heart is breaking for you; there is nothing more dreadful than loosing you child, especially your one and only baby boy.
I told my children that Danielle, my little red haired girl and her best friend, Amanda, were bridesmaids in your wedding.
My husband, Stan, died Monday, the father of our child Stephani, 20 yrs younger than Danielle. It was too surreal. My father passed the Sunday before Thanksgiving.
May God provide you with the comfort in knowing that your son was loved by many and enjoyed a beautiful life.
I've been telling people that God is preparing a beautiful world for us.
He has the contractors and the engineer. They are the ones enjoying God's wonderful and peaceful world. May they not forget us here.
I love you and pray that God will send you the Comforter!
Hugs and Kisses and Much Love....Patti (Hancock) Marx and family.

Hey wilson uh .. I miss you man when something like this happens to a friend you got used to seeing everyday and playing ball in the gym,doing summer camps,classes,lunches you name it i did everyone single with you at least once a day. I am happy you have found that happy place every one wishes for and hopes to be in. I helped get together your prayer poem and in case you lost your copy like in spanish class crazy, heres another bro"God saw that he was getting tired,and the cure was not to be. So he put his arms around him and whispers come with me. Although we loved him dearly our hearts cant make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating,hard working hands to rest. The good lord took you to prove .... He only takes the best. I miss you dearly and love you bro. And I know you loved my truck and always wanted to go to the races with me...when I am done I will show you first.

Kennedy was in my home on several occasions with Dennis and Derrick and I loved watching how spontaneous and joyful he was. He had impecable manners, was always respectful, and gracious. I've been asking about him, praying for him and hoping that he would be healed. He lost his fight for life but he is now truly healed. I am so sorry for your loss and will continue praying for you and your family.
