Ann,
I don't know the words to tell you how I feel. A loss of a spouse is a hard thing to deal with, but now Kenny, Kenny and Preston can all look down on us as they talk about the great hunting days at Brandon, "Just listen to those dogs, they are cranked up this morning". If you need a shoulder you know you can borrow mine anytime. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your fine during this most difficult time.

Love to you from the Gill family

Dear Ann and Family,
Please accept my heart felt condolences on the death of Kenny. Please know he will be missed by many people and especially his "school" family. He touched the lives of many children over the years. I will remember my years, few though they were, working with Kenny and the interest he had in making Prince George Schools the best. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. God bless you and your family.

I love you!

Ann, Don, and families, I am sorry to hear of the loss of Kenny. His name still sounds more familiar to me as "Kenny Wade". I remember well the childhood days in the neighborhood and those baseball and football games, also the activities at our church. Though out of contact for many years, I have heard occasionally of his activities as school board member etc. Take heart in the fact that he was a good and active person and cherish the good memories we all have of him.
Woodlawn was a good community in which to spend our early years.

An old friend and neighbor,

Ann and Family,
I have lost a true frind in Kenny I will miss him as the Huntmaster in Brandon. He was always generous and fair.
I will most of all miss that red pickup truck making his rounds through Brandon.
Kenny always made it a point to stop and chat.
Kenny had a great ability to size up a situation and come to a correct analysis. Those pick up chats were about all subjects in life.
I will miss his "wiseness".

Sincerly with much sorrow,
Jim Clements

Ann,
My sincere sympathy for your loss. I have known you and Kenny since we were kids in Woodlawn. When I heard of his passing, I couldn't help but reflex on my memories with Kenny. His mother and mine were best of friends and so I spent much time in the Parr household when I was growing up. Do you remember the neighborhood baseball games at the Foxworths' where first base was a walnut tree and outfield was across the street? Kenny was the star then and later when we went to HHS. He and I were in the same room at Woodlawn Elementary from first grade to seventh. We went to the same church. We rode to school in the same car pool. He was my friend for many years.
We all shared a special moment in time growing up in Woodlawn...one that no longer exists. We were blessed, weren't we? Take comfort from those memories...not everyone has them.
Love, Jean Poythress

Ann,
There is no way I can express the hurt and sadness that we feel for you. I'm so sorry that you and your family have to face this hard time. But I'm praying that out of the dark clouds that fill you life you'll see the lovely arch of a rainbow. May you feel the sense of hope that every rainbow brings. And may that rainbow bring you peace.
