Kenneth

SO I know this is late in posting but last Friday, March 5th was 11 years since my brother passed away.. So here is a little story my sister Kristin sent to us that happend on that day. Every year on his birthday everyone in my family releases balloons to Kenneth, and its just our way of letting him know we are thinking of him and love him, and really miss him!!!!




I got this message from a girl, Marcia, that I went to school with, she and I were in the same classes at Eastwood Heights, Knolls and then she dropped out our Junior Year of HS. I haven't talked to her in YEARS, probably since even before she dropped out. We are friends on facebook, and today she sent me this message, so I thought I would share with you! Kenneth touched lives we didn't even know about!
LOVE
Kristin

Hi Kristin,

I never had an opportunity to express my condolescences to you and your family.

I would like to share something with you that perhaps you didn't know. I met your brother in highschool. Yes. Highschool. See, Kristin, I was dropped out of school in Spring 1993. I had my son in October of that year. I'll fast forward to 5 years later where I was granted special permission by Mrs. Matthews, YISD and the State of Texas (I was 22 at the time) to return to highschool to finish my senior year. While in school in the year of '98-'99, I had the priviledge of meeting your brother in the tutoring center. He was so welcoming, so smart and had a smile that only he could inhibit. I knew he was your brother and to be honest with you I was embarrassed to ask about you.

I remember that day very well. I was in Spanish class when Mrs. Matthew's voice came over the intercom and in a very broken and heartfelt tone informed us all of Kenneth's passing. I will never forget it.

I truly am sorry for that loss you and your family had to endure. And I too, will release a balloon in his honor.

Sincerely,
Marcy
