Kenny,may God keep you in his loving arms. You can really rest now. You were so tired, and tried so hard to keep on going. You sure did do it too. You left us with so many memories. Life was never boring. So keep on singing with the angels now.We love you.

God looked down upon you and saw your tired face. He saw the that things were getting rough and the hills were hard to climb, so he closed your tired eyes and whispered "Peace be thine". It really hurts to lose you but you didn't go alone, part of us went with you the day God took you home.
