Jim and Nancy; Sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers to you.
I was a classmate of Kenny’s. So sorry to hear of his passing. If I’d known he was in Mn, I could have visited him. His family is in my prayers. I remember Nancy.
Our sincere condolences for your loss. We both graduated with Kenny at Long Prairie High School.
