So Sorry to hear of your loss.
Hopefully, Kemp is with the love of his life …Sylvia. They are together forever now. The two of them will always be missed.
Oh, how he will be missed. Kemp was a very loving and fun loving brother. he struggled with cancer of the mouth and throat for over a year and was unable to talk plain
or to eat anything by mouth. . Kemp is at rest now but he will always be loved and missed by myself and his other family members.
Rest in peace my Dear Brother Kemp.
sorry about your lost. god bless the family.
