May God bless you in the time of your lose. Kenny will always be in our hearts.I will still be his girlfriend. I still remember him telling mother he wanted his tup tup every morning when he got out of bed. We love yall and hope to see you soon.

I WILL LEND YOU FOR A LITTLE TIME A CHILD OF MINE HE SAID.  FOR YOU TO LOVE WHILE HE LIVES AND MOURN WHEN HE IS DEAD.

IT MAY BE SIX OR SEVEN YEARS OR TWENTY TWO OR THREE.  BUT WILL YOU TILL I CALL HIM HOME TAKE CARE OF HIM FOR ME.

HE'LL BRING HIS CHARMS TO GLADDEN YOU, AND SHOULD HIS STAY BE BRIEF.  YOU'LL HAVE HIS MEMORIES AS SOLACE FOR YOUR GRIEF.

I CANNOT PROMISE HE WILL STAY SINCE ALL FROM EARTH RETURN.  BUT THERE ARE LESSONS TAUGHT DOWN THERE I WANT THIS CHILD TO LEARN.

I'VE LOOKED THE WORLD OVER IN SEARCH FOR TEACHERS TRUE.  AND FROM THE THRONGS THAT CROWD LIFE'S LANES I HAVE CHOSEN YOU.

NOW WILL YOU GIVE HIM ALL YOUR LOVE, NOT THINK THE LABOR VAIN.  NOR HATE ME WHEN I COME TO TAKE HIM HOME AGAIN.

I FANCIED THAT I HEARD YOU ANSWER: "DEAR LORD, THY WILL BE DONE! FOR ALL THE JOYS THIS CHILD SHALL BRING THE RISK OF GRIEF WE'LL RUN."

SHELTER HIM WITH TENDERNESS AND LOVE HIM WHILE YOU MAY. AND FOR THE HAPPINESS YOU'VE KNOWN FOREVER GRATEFUL STAY.

BUT SHOULD THE ANGELS CALL FOR HIM MUCH SOONER THAN YOU'VE PLANNED.   BRAVE THE BITTER GRIEF THAT COMES AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND.

HEAVEN HAS RECEIVED ANOTHER ANGEL WITH SWEET KENNY.

So sorry - Kenny was so sweet. He will be missed by many. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. 
Bob & Barbara Westerfield

Merle,Carolyn and family,
I don't take the newspaper and Momma told me that Kenny had passed away yesterday morning. I went to the funeral home in Florence after work so obviously I made a mistake. Kenny was my buddy all his life. Always the same smiling face from boyhood through manhood. Flash his badge and brandish his handcuffs with a stern statement .. "Come on, boy, you're going with me". I'm going to try and come by the funeral home this morning but know that Sandy and I have you all in our thoughts and prayers. We're not worried about Kenny ....we know where he is !!

Mr. Merle & Ms Carolyn,
Kenny could always make us smile.  He would give a thumbs up and the sweetest little wave when he liked something.  We have so many fond memories of him.  Hold on to those sweet memories.  I'm sure he is smiling, clapping his hands and enjoying all the beauty of heaven now.  God will see you all through this.  We will continue to pray for all of you.  We love you all.  Tim, Celia & Zac King

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family in your time of need.  We will be praying for you.  Love Danny and Faye Cleveland

DEAREST MAM MAW & PAP-PAW:  THERE ARE NO WORDS TO EXPRESS THE GREAT SORROW THAT IS IN MY HEART OVER THE LOSS OF OUR PRECIOUS KENNY.  HAVING LOST MY OWN SON I CAN TRULY SAY THAT I KNOW HOW BROKEN YOUR HEARTS ARE RIGHT NOW.  THERE IS NOTHING I CAN SAY TO EASE YOUR PAIN. KENNY WAS SO SPECIAL TO SO MANY PEOPLE AND HE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.  HE LEFT US WITH SO MANY HAPPY MEMORIES TO KEEP IN OUR HEARTS TO REMEMBER WHEN WE MISS HIM.  PLEASE KNOW SHANNON AND I LOVE YOU BOTH VERY MUCH AND ARE HERE FOR YOU IF YOU NEED ANYTHING.

GOD BLESS
