Uncle Kenny, Wow, the years really flew by. I will never forget all the times you let us stay at the Island and took us out on your boat. Letting us swim in the ocean and showing us how to catch crabs LOL I'll Always Remember your awesome hammock and all the times me, Jamie, Sherry, and the rest of us flipped over in it. You were so much fun to be around. We were always happy when we were with you and all together. So many cousins, yet you treated us all the same! I really miss the old days especially Sherry Leigh! Maybe if you see her in Heaven you can Kiss her for me. You were always great to us kids no matter what. It was an honor having you as an Uncle. I will never forget you & I love you! Kathy Dale & All My Brats!
