GUEST BOOK

My heart is heavy upon learning of Kenny's passing. He and I worked together in Savannah while I was in college. His unique sense of humor and quick wit always brightened my day, and on numerous occasions I saw him go out of his way to show kindness to others...myself included. I will remember him fondly. To the family, your son was talented, funny, and caring. I am so very, very sorry for your loss.

Kenny I was so sorry to receive the call from your Dad about your passing. I loved when you stayed with us....and played my guitar & talked about music! We had a lot of long conversations on the phone, and I would give anything to talk to you again. I am so sorry for what ever pain you may have been in, and wish we could have talked it through. You were a great guy, and I am so happy to have been a part of your life, even for a short time! R.I.P. Sweet Kenny...I will pray for your Family, and pray that you have found true Peace. Kitten

Well Kenny when you had your mind set on something that was usually the end of that. Right now I'm wishing you were just a little less stubborn, a little more hopeful, maybe even a little less pessimistic. But those were the things I loved about you the most, so I wouldn't have you change a thing. You were an amazing friend and no one will ever fill this space that's left behind now that you're gone. I wonder if you had really known, deep down, how loved you were, that you would have ever even done this. Maybe none of that mattered. I just wish I could see you one last time so I could tell you I love you ten thousand times over. You are my best friend, a very real part of me, and in your absence my body aches, grieves for your return. I trust in your decision though I may selfishly desire that if things had been different, that you would have waited just a little longer, that maybe you would have changed your mind.

Kenny, you were the most sarcastic person on the plant, but also one of the most caring. You gave me many sweet experiences, because you told me I deserved it after all I'd been through. You stayed out late with me, and went with me on my random late night adventures; you dealt with my emotional instability, and constantly reassured me, with finesse. You didn't give me the perfect relationship; you gave me your time. I use to pelt you with sarcastic remarks, and you'd throw something at me 10x worse, then we'd laugh hysterically about it. You are close to my heart, and I hope that you are now at peace. I really do.

- Hannah Elise, Duluth, GA

Carol, I'm so sorry to hear about your son,and please forgive me for not making the visitation. I've been on extended leave from work since December, and not released to go back yet. Didn't want anyone to see me out. You're always my friend, even though I don't get on the internet much any more. If there's anything I can do, don't hesitate to call on me. Love, Bill Frank
