    Have you covered.

    I will not let up until I see retribution.

    Remembering the phone call, “made my peace with God,” and the phone call, “you are right, even though you never wanted to admit it, you have to put God 1st.

    Thankful we had lunch on 5.31.19.

    I will see you there.
    Love you

    Our brother was such a wonderful person. He was always willing to help others and asked for nothing in return.
    Kerry was an outstanding mechanic with a big heart. He would go above and beyond to help people when they needed help. Countless individuals have shared that with me. An example of this is when Kerry and another person drove 500 miles to help a stranded girl with her transmission. That’s how selfless he was, going way out of his way to help someone even though he didn’t get much in return. He was always concerned with the needs and wishes of others.

    I’m sure that he would want all of us to celebrate the good life that he had. We can all be thankful that we had him in our lives and continue to remember him as the great guy that he was. We will miss him dearly.

    Rest In Peace Brother and we love you forever, love your oldest sister, Vicki
