Monticello, AR Tuesday, December 29, 2020 I am so sorry for you loss. Kenny Adams just loved both Lenard and Bobbie Sue, as family and as friends. He enjoyed them so much.I remember on one of their trips across the country, Lenard would send Kenny a post or email nearly every evening telling Kenny where they were. My son, Joshua, was probably in high school at the time, and he had such a blast keeping up with Lenard's adventure.
Kenny's middle name was Ervin, after Lenard.
Sending prayers and blessings. Denise
