Ann & Eugene Kennedy are long time Friends of my parents, Carvel & Rosemarie Clark who are both deceased. We considered The Kennedy’s as Family to us. My parents shared a lifetime of “good times” with them.
Eugene was a very special Friend to my Father and especially when my Father was at his end stage of life. Eugene was so kind hearted & a “True” friend to anyone who was Blessed to know him.
Sharon and Kathy, You Girls had the Best of a Dad!
We have You/ Your Families & your Mother in close thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Our Love & Condolence
