To The Thomas Family
u will always be in my prayers Kenny will be missed.Here is somethingg that helps me get through:
Are You a Reason, A Season, Or A Lifetime?
People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it its, you will know what to do for each person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON..It is usually to meet a need you have expressed.  They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally. or spiritually.  They may seem like a godsend, and they are! They are there for a reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.  Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.  The prayer you sent has been answered.  And now it is time to move on.

Then people come into your life for a SEASON…because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.  They may teach you somethin you have never done.  They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.  BELIEVE IT! Its real, but only for a season.

LIFETIME..relationships teach you lifetime lessons. Things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.  Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.  It is said love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

For me Kenny was all three we have had our good-times in Carlton Court and in Wright Tech he was always a great friend to me.

Tammy, Lamont, Kenny Sr. there is nothing that can be said at this moment that will help ease the pain and the feeling of loss you must be feeling, but please remember this that he is and will always be loved and remembered.
