K.J. you will be greatly missed... I never seen you without that beautiful and somewhat mischievous smile on your face. You will always be an inspiration to so many people. But we are greedy people and we love you and can't stand to be without you. But God overruled us and took you home so fly high with those Angels my boy. P.S. if you don't mind keep a watch out for us that left here to carry on without you.My memories of you are something I'll always cherish and love.
ReplyDeleteOur thoughts and prayers to all of KJ's family and friends. His strength and resilience always amazed me. Definitely the strongest person I have ever met. Not just physically, but emotionally too. I keep imagining the reunion he is having with all those that have gone before him, and that he is completely pain free. That brings joy to my heart. Kenny, Laura and Family, we pray for God's comforting embrace to surround you and bring you peace. You are not alone in this journey, please remember that. Love to you all.
