My heart is broken to lose my dear friend Kena! Thank God our memories will live forever. She is back with Sam and in the arms of our dear Savior. I will always love and miss her. Our prayers are with her family that she loved so completely.

Kena and I were neighbors Center Ave. played together, fought together, best friends all through grade and high school, may her soul now rest in peace, was able to see her and 2 sons going into Hartford Conn. back in the late 60’s from California and glad I was able to meet up with her and new children again. May her family be at peace knowing Kena now rest peacefully.
