"Just wanted to say that my little brother will be missed so much. He was a great Son, Brother, Husband, Father and Grandpa and now he will be with our Heavenly Father watching over us. God be with you brother ???? Love Rosie"
"My sweet Father in Law. You will be dearly missed. When we first met, we immediately clicked. The sarcasm, the dirty jokes and the laughter is what I always looked forward to when we would visit! I want to thank you for excepting Keyonna, Tavion and I into your family and treating us as family. You have watched our family grow! You were there when I married your handsome son Julian Paul Kendall (I can still see how proud you were that day as if it was yesterday). And you were there for the birth of both Jaiden and Trinitee! I am so happy you were able to be there for those memories! I love you Dad, and I know God has you now. I can see you smiling at me as I write this for you. I truly believe you are in a better place, happy, your body is whole as God made you, and you aren?t in pain anymore! Fly High Dad! I promise you I will always take care of your son and your grand babies! I love you!"
"The last thing my brother said to me was you helped bring me into this world and now you are going to help me leave this world, that's what big sisters do right and I smiled and shook my head and he said I love you with that I went ahead and went back to Salt Lake those words keep going over and over in my mind that's what big sisters do. He was in my life for a short period of time but in reality he neever left my life and I loved him and still do very much. Hopefully he is with my son heath and all those that he has loved and missed here on Earth. He had a beautiful sister named Joanne and I'm sure she was there with opened arms May the heavens welcome you my sweet brother., Linda"
