Joyce,I was saddened to hear of Kennys' passing.My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Joyce, So sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Julie (Dothager) Andresen
To Joyce and family, I would like to express my heartfelt condolences. I know Kenny will be sadly missed by all who knew him I have fond memories of visiting with Kenny, and listening to his many stories about local history and events. Kenny always has a warm smile,a kind word, and never had a complaint. I wish I could have brought him one more coconut cream pie.
Joyce, You have our sympathy on the passing of Kenny. He always had time to visit. He had such a contagious smile. As a kid, I, Clareen, remember when he hauled milk for my parents and also rock. He would always visit with us kids if we were out when he came to get the milk. Jim and I were just talking about how both of us are related to Kenny. We pray that God will give you comfort, peace, and strength during this difficult time.
Joyce-I want to extend my deepest sympathy to you at this time of Kenny's passing. I will never forget his contagious smile and laughter. I regret that this has occurred at such a time as this when we can't be together to support you. My father still talks about Kenny and he always is smiling when he talks about their times together.My sister reminded me that Kenny ,Herb and Dad had an agreement that the first one married would have to pay the other 2. I understand that you and Kenny were married just a few months later. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers . Doug Dothager
