May you rest in peace Kenny – you were the best brother-in-law a girl could ask for. I will always remember all of the good laughs, funny stories, your kind heart and compassion you had for others and for animals, and the challenging driving skills that were shared with you. You always made me laugh. I hope you and Maggie are riding around in an awesome Mustang GT in heaven with the top down listening to oldies on the radio. Much love for you always! Karen Cline
