To my family, my heart was heavy to hear of the passing of my cousin. I often think back when we all went the school together, Keith and rest of the family. It was so much love between us. Keith and I was in the band together. Even though we haven't seen each and so long. Our love for each still whole strong. Even though our hearts are sadden and we my hurt for a while. But we know he is not in pain and that he is resting in his earthly home until our heavenly Father say it time to come up out of our earthly bed. The dead in Christ will be the first to rise. And we all pray that we can hear out Father say welcome 🙏 home my child. Keith, and the family I love yall. My heart will never forget each of yall and my love will still stay strong fir my family. RIP cuz even though you are gone you will live on my heart.

My fondest memory of Kent was the last cousin's reunion that he attended. I can remember him playing What's in the Box & that was hilarious! We laughed & had so much fun together. Im also grateful that I did have an opportunity to speak with him earlier this year. I truly thank God for the vine that connected us. Kent may your soul find RSIGA!

Cousin Kent, I'm going to miss your jokes and kind words. I'll always remember to not fry my good fish in Great Value oil 😂
