Hope,

Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Kenneth was a real fighter and such as inspiration to all who had the pleasure of knowing him. A true gentleman and a person with a kind heart. I remember meeting Kenneth at Caroline High; seeing him often at the Safeway; at the Barlow, Pitts, Taylor reunions and Caroline's Relay for Life. God bless you and your family at this difficult time.
