So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".

Kenneth was a very kind person. He always was at family gatherings while his health permitted.

I cherish the time I got to spend with Uncle Kenneth just a few weeks before his passing. Also, I remember when I was 12 or 13, he and his family had joined my Mom, Dad, sisters, brother and myself on a camping trip. I was fishing a several yards from him and he had a good view of the rock I was standing on. He whispered loud enough so I could hear him, "Bobby, be careful, there's a big snake under that rock." It was great to that warning from Uncle Kenneth. He visited my Dad (his brother) in the hospital everyday in the weeks before my Dad passed away.
