A fond memory of Kenny.  He was my very first date...7th grade dance at LaRue Junior High.  He and his Mom picked me up at my house and we went to the dance and she brought us home.  He was such a sweetheart...meant a lot to a freckle faced girl.  That memory always brings a smile to my face.  RIP Kenny..you made a lot of people smile and feel better about themselves in your lifetime.  God Bless you and your family...
