To Buck and Smythers Family,
May God hold each of you in comfort to help you get through the days ahead. We are very sorry to learn about Kenny’s passing, we had just learned about the arrangements. Kenny was a great guy, he was the one that gave me the nickname “Jackie blue “, everytime I hear that song I will always think of Kenny, he used to call me up and I’d answer and all you could hear was Jackie Blue playing in the background, he will be missed dearly. Keeping the family in our prayers
Jack & Kim Hicks

My condolences to the family and friends. It is never easy to deal with the death of a dear loved one. And even though I did not know your dear loved one, I still wanted to share a comforting scripture that has helped me with the loss of my loved ones.
Revelation 21:4 “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. May the God of all comfort, comfort the family and friends. And may this small publication provide you with comfort and hope: https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&pub=t-35&srcid=share
