Beverly, It is worth remembering that the stars are still shinng, even when clouds hide them. Remember that behind the dark patches of life, the eternal love of your heavenly Father is still shining brightly. If you cultivated trust in him, your faith will carry you through the darkest moments of life.

To Nicky, Rodney, Carol, Delaine You are in our prayers,
Kenny took a trip to heaven
but only in his mind
He wanted to know what it's like
to leave all this pain behind.
So he closed his eyes, and started to see
just how beautiful heaven can be.

He could see the pearly gates of white
and behind them was the most radiant light.
He saw the angels as they were passing by
so incredibly beautiful that a tear fell from his eye.
Everyone looked perfect and with the angels they did sing
there are no earthly words to describe the beauty of their wings.

As he sat on a bench in the most incredible garden
He asked God for all of his sins to be pardoned
He took one last look at all of the beauty around
and when he opened his eyes, it was peace in heaven he found.
Sleep In Peace Big Brother,
Kenny will forever be loved and remembered for his smile and the love he showed to his Bronte family.
