Finally at peace, good friend. We certainly had a lot of complex discussions over the last 6.5 years. We hardly ever agreed, but it never interfered with a lasting friendship. I’m grateful for the lessons about farming and your attempts to teach me about making things grow better. Sadly though we were never able to get that tractor running and I know how important that was to you. I will miss you, warts and all. But as you always said: “It is what it is
1”
Cousin Kenny,
You will be greatly missed. You have been a big part of my life growing up and I am thankful that I knew you as a cousin and friend. We went on many fishing trips and had fun times together as a family. You meant a great deal to all of us and I am glad that I have such happy memories with you. Thank you for being such a good friend to my Uncle Mark over the years and always willing to help him and his kids out. They love you very much. I am at peace knowing that you are with the rest of our Bridge/Beaver family. I bet there will be lots of fishing conversations now that you are with my Uncle Mark too. Love you and miss you dearly.
