I am so shocked and saddened to read about Kenny's passing. I just happened to be looking at obituaries and his name was there. I am so sorry I did not know about this. My love to you Penny and your family and my love to my cousins that have now lost their brother. My love to Aunt Lil and Norm who have lost a great son. I cannot imagine that. Kenny was a fun guy to talk to and I know Aunt Lil told me often how good he was to them. Please know that I love all of you and yes, Kenny was met by loving family and encircled in their love. I hope you will all remember the great times with him. Once again I am so sorry. - Love Sandy Morgan Cummings - his cousin.

We've known this incredible man & his McGrath family for many years. We live in Flaming Gorge & had the privilege of doing work on his & all of the families summer homes. We're going to miss seeing him come down the driveway in his golf cart & stopping by for a "BS" session. Penny - hold onto the memories & know he's finally pain free. Our prayers are with you!

We were so very sorry to hear of Kenny's passing. He was a unique man who never hesitated to express his opinion, lend a hand, offer a shoulder or share a joke. We enjoyed being neighbors for many years. He will be missed. Our love to you Penny. We will remember him fondly.

Chrissy Watkins

My brother, Ken.
Most of all, I am soooo happy that your no longer in pain. I'm positive that you can feel your hands and feet again. I'm positive that you were met by loved ones when you left us. I'm positive that you know that your family loves you beyond words.
I personally want you to know how much I appreciated the love, care, and sacrifice you have given freely to our parents, as they are aging and in need of assistance. What you did for them gave me a chance to deal with things that needed my full attention. Now, I will accept the challenge to take over for you. It's my turn.
Your sense of humor, wit, sarcasm, and joke telling without a smile will be missed. Our DNA gave us all strong personalities, strong opinions that we all share to a fault. With that, we all were handed down to us, the gift of gab, happiness, and most of all, strength to get us through trials that most don't even know about because we know that complaining only makes us weak and really, nobody cares anyways.
I love you. I miss you. I know that you are here with me while I write I this. Thank you for being my bother and my concerned friend.
Love your little Sister, Chrissy

Penny, I am so sorry for your loss. I know there are really no words to comfort you at this time. Take comfort from your family and friends, they all loved Kenny and you very much. I am here for you if you need anything or just want to cry or talk.........love you.....Karren Beebe
