Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Donnie wanted me to write and tell you how very sad we are to learn of Kenneth’s passing. They were friends throughout childhood and singing partners later on. Donnie remembers so many good times with his buddy. We only learned on Friday that Kenneth was fighting cancer just as Donnie is. This is especially hard for Donnie, he is in the end stages of cancer. He is remembering happier times with Kenneth just as I hope you are. It won’t be long before Donnie will be reunited with Kenneth up in Heaven. Just think of all the laughter and good times they will share. We ask for GOD’s blessings on your family and send our love, Donnie & Faye Parker
JoAnne and family, I wanted to share with you how sorry I am to hear of Mr. Adams passing. I know that he will be reunited with Annie Bell now and they will both be happy together in Heaven. I can remember years ago listening to him playing and singing in church and how I enjoyed that. Now he’ll be able to sing even more each day. Please know I’ll be praying for you all even in days to come. God Bless you all. Sue Ford Champion
