Deb, After we saw you a few weeks ago we knew time was short for him and that he is now at peace. I am glad you two found each other after all these years and were able to share what precious time you did have together.
Bonnie: So sorry about Kenny, seems like yesterday we were all young and full of energy--wonder where time went for sure.
Keep him close to your heart as he loved all of you.
