My sincere condolences, It is hard enough to try to put into words the emotions you are dealing with right now. True comfort can only be found by knowing the true Creator. Knowing that He hates death: he even views it as an enemy.(1 Corinthian 15:26) He has “a yearning” to conquer that enemy, to undo death by means of the resurrection. He longs to bring back those who are in his memory and to see them live on earth again-Job 14:14,15. And for the mean time“ He heals the brokenhearted; He binds up their wounds.”(Psalms 147:3). So trust that He can comfort you.

I had the pleasure of being kenneths nurse for a while. He was such a joy to be around. Always happy and laughing no matter what. I loved nap time because he we snuggle up to me and sleep holding on to me. He added so much joy to my life. Sweet little boy, you will surely be missed. Miss cindi, cinni as you would say, loves you!

I never felt like I was at work with Kenneth. I looked forward to my shifts. He treated me as if I was a part of his family. I believe I was. Bedtime was my favorite with him. We'd hold hands and as God to send the angels to watch over him while he slept. We also sent angels to watch over his mother and sister. After we prayed he'd smile then turn towards the wall. I'm very glad I was given the chance to be a part of his life. I'm looking forward to the day when I'll see him again. My little one, Adrian, who is the same age as Kenneth, said when we get to Heaven, he'll tell us, "Hey, I missed you."
Until then I'll carry the memory of the little boy that was a precious gift to me.

Dear family of Kenneth. My condolences on the loss of your dear loved one. I wish to share some comfort from the Bible at this sad time. The Bible teaches that one day in the near future our Creator, by means of the ransom sacrifice of his son Jesus, will reunite us with our dead loved ones by means of a resurrection right here on earth in paradise conditions that will be filled with peace, happiness and perfect health for everyone. (John 5:28,29; Psalms 37:10,11, Isaiah 33:24) As you read the above texts in your Bible, may the wonderful hope they give us , along with loving memories bring you a measure of comfort during this most difficult time.. Sincerely, David L. Cowles

I had the pleasure of meeting Kenneth through my daughter who was one of his nurses. I met him for the first time over a year ago and his smile and laughter will forever be in my memory. I was able to spend Halloween and Christmas with him last year and I was thrilled to see his face light up and hear his laughter. He will forever be in my heart. I know he was taken away from us too soon but God needed another Angel. I know he is in Heaven looking down smiling and laughing. Kenneth touched many lives and he will always be loved and remembered. Rest in Peace sweet Kenneth.

Kenneth was my aunt's patient. When I would see his seat In her car I would just be so excited to go in there and see his great big smile and see him jamming out to yo gabba gabba. Although I did not know Kenneth very long, it felt like forever. Whenever he would ask me to sit down and watch yo gabba gabba or play games or just even ask my name I would just feel so honored. He has truly made a great impact on my life and also going after my dreams of working in the medical field with children. Kenneth was a great little boy. I wish I could've seen that smile one more time. We will forever miss you Kenneth.
Love, kiara Baker.

Kenn will surely be missed. He was my mothers patient and like my little brother. I loved him dearly. His smile was infectious. Kenn was soooo sweet and funny. He would always say, "who is that on the phone?" Lol. He was such a precious gift to our family. I hope to see him in heaven one day. There we'll be able to fly on magic carpets together, he'll be able to eat all the candy he ever wanted. And he'll be able to dance to yo GABA GABA songs all day if he wanted.
Love,
Khadijah ??

I met Kenneth with Aimmee she brought him to our thanksgiving dinner, he was a sweet young man that will truly be missed. Aimmee gave that young man many things that he would have missed out on had she not been his friend /nurse. Just looking at the joy in his face in the pictures she has posted. I am thankful I got to meet him.

I was privileged to be a part of Kenneth's life for a good while. He was a kind and gentle boy. At night it was just us guys in his room and we would talk about stuff before he fell asleep. One night we did talk about what heaven was like and that Jesus lived there. Now the only thing that gives me comfort is to know that Kenneth is walking, or I just bet running, with our Lord. Love you man, yo gabba gabba buddy

I got the joy of being this sweet boys nurse for over 2 years. I loved him with all my heart he was a part of my family. We celebrated birthdays, holidays, & rewarded him for his accomplishments. I saw him grow and exceed possibilites beyond imaginable. He was the sweetest and kindest person I have ever met in my life! He lit up every room he walked into and never met a stranger. This beautiful little boy was such a blessing and I am so grateful to have been a part of his life. My heart is so broken that he is gone but he know will never feel pain and will be surrounded by eternal love. I am sure he is teaching all the other angels yo gabba gabba songs and his dance moves..what I wouldnt give to be able to sing and dance with him again. Kenneth Charles I will love and miss you forever sweet boy
