Dear Mrs. Kenny and the rest of the Kenny Clan,



I'm very sorry for your loss. I don't remember the swingset between our homes, but I do remember that great big pool. My favorite memory is the wild night time golf cart rides through the prarie in front of your Grand Beach home with Mr. Kenny at the wheel. There was me and my sister Mary Beth, and Jimmy and Jimmy Gaynor. We always had a ton of fun with Mr. Kenny and will miss him dearly.



Sincerely,

Bobby O'Brien
