Kenny, you will always be in our thoughts and our hearts from now until eternity when we all meet again. You have been an inspiration to all who had the priviledge to get to know you! Not only did I get to know you thru going to school together but eventually became your sister-in-law and I am proud of it! You always had a smile on your face and a kind word for everyone. You always had time for your family and friends and showed how much you cared for them. Life will never be the same without you here, but we know that your presence will always be with us. Now we have a guardian angel to help guide us thru life and to protect us! :) Thank you for being part of our life--you will be sadly missed. We love you! Your family and friends :)
