    Kenneth and I had many wonderful times growing up together, camping, biking, all the crazy stuff kids do. We entered Basic Training together on 4/1/68 in the US Army. I had lost touch with Kenneth over the years but had an opportunity to talk with him recently and I think we spent the whole conversation talking about our grandkids. Oh, how he loved his kids. He was greatly loved and will be truly missed. I am glad he is with our Lord but from now on for me, each Veterans Day, my heart will be a little heavier that he is no longer with us in body. Love you buddy.

    Mary Ann I’m so sorry to hear of the home going of Kenneth at such a young age. I’ll always appreciate both of you and the love you had for mama. Now Kenneth can be there to make sure she is behaving herself. Love you

    Mary Ann and Family,

    I am so sorry for your loss of Kenneth. He was a wonderful man and he will truly be missed by all that knew and loved him. It has been awhile since I have seen Kenneth. I think I saw him once since daddy got killed. He was up at Popes.
    He always had a smile on his face and welcomed me with a hug.
    I prayed for his recovery, but God called him home.
    I wanted to pay my respects last night but as you know things are just still too fresh in my mind for me right now. I love you all and will keep you all in my prayers.

    Mary Ann & Family,
    I was so sorry to hear about the illness and then the passing of Kenneth. I could certainly tell he was filled with the Holy Spirit, as each time I saw him he had a big smile and always welcomed me back to Mt. Gilead. I’m sorry I was not able to attend visitation or services, but did not learn of his passing until afterwards. May God give you strength in the days ahead.

    Cindy, I know there are no words to express your feelings of loss; but there are others who understand your feelings without you having to say a word. If you need a shoulder to cry on, call me anytime. -Rebecca

    Janie and family,I am so sorry about your dad but from what I heard from you he was a wonderful daddy;husband and papaw. My heart goes out to each of you. Sorry I couldn’t be with you but you were in my thoughts and prayers. Like I told you last Tuesday if you need me please don’t hesitate to call. Remember Psalm 27:1 “The Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life of whom shall I be afraid? I feel like this is what your father believed before his departing. Love you girl. Hilda Williams
