Virginia and the Cooley family, It is often hard to find the right words at a time like this. May you find peace, comfort, and all the love you need in the days to come. Some people come into our lives and quickly go… Some stay for a while leave footprints in our hearts and we are never the same. Kenny was one of those people may you rest in peace my friend.
