Jeananne,
I am so saddened for the loss of your precious Kermit. From the first time I met Kermit at the bank, we became such great friends. It brought me such joy to see the two of you so happy and enjoying all of life’s blessings together. I am so thankful for the good times and memories I have of him. It always made my day so special when I would see you both. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Heaven gained a very sweet angel. Love you, Brenda
