Kenny, my brother, whose birthday we shared by month and day though 4 years apart to no longer celebrate with each other, my protector in all, I don’t know what I will do without you but until we see each other again, I’m sure when you left us you were welcomed and happily embraced with open arms and huge smiles by Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, Uncle Tom, Uncle Nick, Uncle Odrien and Aunt Betty and Charlie. I love you!
