Dear Family,
You have my deepest sympathy. Kenny will truly be missed. Your father was one of a kind. Truly he was. I always had the best times, and so many great memories, at all the family picnics and the fabulous New Year’s Eve dinners at Fred and Lisa’s. Your parents were so much fun to be around and a beautiful couple. Now they are together again. Rest in peace Betty Lou and Kenny.
