John Kenneth Kearney

Dear Family of Kenneth Kearney. I am sorry that Barbara and I were not able to travel to Lodi for the funeral of your dad, my oldest brother. You can be so thankful for the love that you all showed to each other as a family--thankful for the many years of marriage of your Mom and Dad--thankful for the many years that you had them in your lives. As Barbara and I have never lived in Lodi after our marriage, and were for many years overseas, our times of visiting were few and far between. I think my most vivid memory of their lives was actually what took place before their marriage. Your Mom was a couple years ahead of me in high school. She would often send notes home with me for your Dad--and he would return a note to her the next day. I never peeked at any of those notes. We trust that you each one of you will know the love and peace of God in your lives. Certainly, we all know that someday, each one of us will depart this life to spend an eternity in the next life. The wonderful Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ has promised eternal life in heaven for everyone who will trust Him as Savior. We, and our friends here in our church, are remembering to pray for you. May God's blessings be so abundant in your lives. Ferrell & Barbara Kearney

I am so glad we had the opportunity to spend some time with Uncle Kenny in recent years. Craig and I are very sorry that we will not be able to attend the funeral service on Friday, but you will all be in our thoughts and prayers. Uncle Kenny loved his family so much, and everyone loved him! He will always be remembered as a wonderful father, grandfather, husband, son, brother, uncle, and friend to all. He was also a proud veteran and devout Green Bay Packer fan! I will never forget his laugh and sense of humor! I wish he could have made the Badger Honor Flight here in a few weeks and gone fishing with my dad one more time, but like Sommer said “Heaven tops any vacation”. He will be dearly missed. God bless you all. Love Jessica and Craig
