Dear Bernice and Family, So very saddened to have lost cousin Kenny so suddenly. I will always remember Ken's caring ways, how he always asked how we all were doing and how proud he was of your wonderful boys and their families. And Bernice, you and Kenny were a true example of what an adoring couple should be. Our family will never be the same without him. I am so truly sorry for your loss. You are all in our prayers. Jennifer and Family
