God Bless you Babe. You truly made an impact on my life. If it weren't for you, I'd still be afraid of water. I'll miss you physically, but I'll hold memories of you close to my heart forever.

Words cannot express my heartfelt sorrow in the loss of Kenny. There will always be the childhood memories to reflect on as we all grew up in the old neighborhood. Memories of the Christmas morning skating adventures to the little visits to the "pond" will always be present in my thoughts of Kenny. May God bless and keep the Moon Family in this time of bereavement.

The Shadow of Thy Wings

By

Alice Stansberry







When the trials of life be gain to emcampeth me

And my soul is wrought beneath life’s billowing seas,

Than my heart seek out the Psalms of a king,

And I find refuge in the shadow of thy wings.



When the host of hell tries to assail me,

And my strength be gain to fail me,

Than my heart seek out the Psalms of a king,

And I find refuge in the shadow of thy wings.



Oh Lord, How excellent it is,

That the children of man find refuge in the shadow of thy wings.

My prayers are with you all as you traverse this road we all must do.
