Uncle Kenny,
Thank you for being such a fun and loving uncle to my sister & I, a great father to Matt & Adam, and an amazing husband to my Auntie Linda. I will remember the good times with you and the strength you showed, when you had every reason to fall apart. Let's not say "goodbye," but simply say "until next time." I'll see you on the other side, Uncle Kenny. Until then, I'll be missing you.
I love you. Xoxo. Until next time.
- Sarah (The best niece ever).
