Ok my prayer warriors I need you all now. I took Kenneth to the hospital ER at 8:30 yesterday morning and stayed in a room till 4:30 before a room upstairs was ready. We said our goodbyes because of the Covid rules, which he had tested negative to earlier that day in the hallway, not knowing it would be the last. 

At 9:00 p.m. one of the nurses called and said he passed away. What a shock. .Not the way I planned on ending 2020.

Please keep Charlotte, Kenda and their family in your prayers!
