"Weeze word's aren't enough to tell you how much you were loved by me and my family. We moved in our home when I was 2 and little Kenneth was one of my best friends. I loved sneaking in the back door to eat your fried potatoes and the best cornbread I ever had. I loved to sit on the swing with you talking and laughing! You had so much strength when Brenda passed. Then with Earl. Losing Gregory. It was your faith that got you through it. Now your in Heaven with Jesus and seeing Earl, Brenda and Greg. Your passing has left a void and time will ease the pain. My prayers go out to little Kenneth, Jackie, Jamie Jill and Christy who has been there helping little Kenneth. We love you and many prayers for all the family. To us y'all are family ????
