Afterglow by Helen Lowrie Marshall
I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done.
I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days.
I’d like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun;
Of happy memories that I leave when life is done.

    My heart goes out to the many people hurt and affected by this loss. Kenny was not only good to my grand daughter but he also brought me the blessing of 4 more grandchildren that I am so grateful for. Kenny was good to me and my family as well and I will always do my best to look after the loved ones he left behind. May God be with each and every one of them and comfort them through out this difficult time.
