My "Love Note" to my husband - Jannette Higginson-Young
"Kenny, my life really began when I met you. From the moment we met on my front porch that summer, and you smiled, I knew that my life had changed forever. You have been my heart and soul ever since. We have been through more than our fair share of ups and downs in our relationship, but we always came back to one another. I looked forward to spending the rest of my days with you as your wife and best friend. You made me whole. You stood by my side through the good times and all of the challenges life threw at us. You loved me, my children and grandchildren like no one ever could. You were the most caring and devoted father, "papa" and friend. Even though our life was not full of riches, it was rich. Our home was a home, a place where all came to be together, and together we made that happen.
"Unable are the loved to die. For love is immortality." You continue in our hearts.
"Papa" Kenny left us his love, laughter, and dedication to family.
