P.S. I’m lighting a turquoise candle for you, as that was your favorite color.
Aunt Keney and mom had great laughs when they got together.
“…a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance.”
– Ecclesiastes 3:4
May all of you remember the good memories and the laughs that go with them.
God Bless you all,
Yours in Christ,
Terry
I am so sorry for your loss. Aunt Kenny was a very special person. It never seemed right to just call her “Kenny” The aunt must proceed that to fit.
She was always a spark of sunshine. She had that laugh that warmed my heart. I enjoyed sitting and talking with her. I know she is not to far away in heaven. I hope I can see her again someday in heaven.
My thoughts and prayers are with Aunt Kenny’s family, friends, and all who called her “Aunt Kenny”
Don and family, my deepest sympathy to you all. Don, Never thought when I saw you and Kenny exactly a year ago in Fargo, how fortunate I was to have enjoyed such a wonderful breakfast and visit with you, Kenny and Frances, it would be the last time I would see her. It was such a fun visit. Those summer visits were always such a joy for me. May God be with you all and rejoice in the good memories. Sending Love and Prayers for you all.

Rest In Peace, my friend!! I will always remember the good times we had. Whether near or far we remained friends for many years. I was very shocked to hear of your passing from this earth, however, I do know you will have a special place in your new heavenly home.
We are blessed with people who touch our lives in ways we can barely understand. Aunt Keney was that person. She did so much for everyone who knew her and that incredible presence and generosity will be missed.
Aunt Keney and I had a special bond. Since Byron and I spent quite a bit of time together, she always called me her #2 Son. What a nice honor!
Aunt Keney is gone from our sight, but never from our hearts. My heartfelt thoughts go out to you in this time of sadness. My affection for Aunt Keney will remain for eternity.
My condolences to you Don and your whole family. I was just reminiscing of the Christmas and other holiday gatherings we had with your family. From those memories I bet Keney was a great Grandma! My prayers to all of you.

Enjoyed the time spent working with you at GNC,
Condolences to your family.
Don,
We are so sorry to hear of Keney’s passing and we will miss her on her walks by the house. We are glad that we had the opportunity of knowing you and her over these last 22 years. We will see you when you return to Mesa. Our prayers go out to you and your family.
Don and Eden Thompson
Our heartfelt condolences. Don you and Kenny had so many wonderful years together. Just remember the good times. Love Bob And Bev Abbott
Don and Family, Keney was a people builder. She was also the best conversationalist I’ve ever met. We wouldn’t see you 2 for awhile and it was like we never parted. I loved being around both of you. I can’t think of Keney without thinking of you too, Don. What a huge loss for all that knew her. I was proud to call her friend, and you too Don. Take care of you now.
I am so very sorry for your loss. 2021 and 2022 has not been kind to the Wolf family. I will certainly miss Aunt Keney’s smile and most of all her laugh. We made so many, many trips when I was younger to Minneapolis, and getting to stay at your house overnight (in Fargo) was the joy of my trips! Aunt Keney always made sure I was all comfy and cozy. I loved lying on the couch downstairs and hearing her laugh! Such wonderful memories. Keep them close to your heart. She is forever with us.
Love,
Lynette (Glatt) Heimer
I was so saddened to hear of the passing of one of my closest classmates. I will definitely miss our phone calls but one thing for sure is that I was truly blessed to have such a great friend like her From our meetings from Napoleon to Mesa one thing for sure is that she will never be forgotten.. The school reunions sure won’t be the same without her. Until I see you again my dear friend. Condolences to Don and his family too!
Thoughts and prayers to everyone. Matt and sharon ❤
Aunt Keney was a treasure and will be missed. I know she is right beside my Dad and her other family, laughing and having a great time! Until we meet again my dear Aunt Keney
Hugs
Marchell and Chad
