How very sad we are to be so far away and unable to make to trip home. Had Kyle not spent weeks in Intensive care I might have been up to making the trip but I know each of you know how very much I loved my big brother. Betty, we send our love and prayers and know the girls and grandchildren will take good care of you. Perhaps before much longer I will be able to come to visit. If not I will meet you in heaven for the big rejoycing cermony we will have. Blessings, Susie

This has been a hard week. In our hearts I knew my brother probably would not be able to go through this surgery and the sad call of his passing was not unexpected! However it did not help the pain of the loss. What did make it better was knowing that to be absent from our presence was to be in the Lord's presence. Not a one who knew him doubted he wouldn't make it to heaven as he loved the Lord with ever beat of his heart. He was a precious brother who I never made a trip "back home " with out going there first as you and he were so very special. I was proud of Lemone as a brother, he worked hard, provided well for his family and was there for any one of us and gave me a safe feeling having him for my brother and best friend. Now we send our love and prayers to Betty, get stronger sister, you were a bright light in brother's eyes, in 61 one years of life and fun! Our love and prayers are with you. It won''t be very many more days before we all meet again. Remember when we thought we were old because we were in our 40's, just kids weren't we? All my Love to you Betty and the Girls. Edath

In the 40 + years of our married life you and Aunt Betty were the example of all the good things we practiced and enjoyed. You two were our models of the most precious married, Christian couple we ever had the blessings of being with. To be with Uncle Lemone was like being with "Little Grandma" his mother! Their hearts were just a like,. sweet, kind, loving and truly caring! How we still miss her! There will never be another man so genuine and kind, love the Lord and love his family like Uncle Lemone did. God had handpicked Aunt Betty to be that young man's wife when they grew up! Like everything God does, He made the perfect couple! As with all couples in love and having spent their life time together we know you, Aunt Betty wonder how you will make it with out the other Beat Of Your Heart! It won't be long Aunt Betty until we are all together before the Lord, with our parents, grandparents and all those who went on before us. In the mean time the Lord has given you these beautiful twin daughters and all of these precious grandchildren and in-law children.{who are exactly like our own; aren't they?} Thank you Aunt Betty for allowing us to be a part of your lives and you will never know until that day comes how much we respect and love you and Uncle Lemone. He now knows , we have no doubt.. Arron,; we know you was the shine and sparkle of the dawn light to your grandfather! Yes, you granddaughters were just as precious but boys are a little scarce! You have both been precious to our children and grandchildren, also.You two lived lives anyone would have been proud to have walked in your shoes; to be able to stand before the Lord with your slate! Always know we are here for you, You know the way through the woods and follow the smell of the wonderful meals we have all sharded by the dozens the past 40 + years together! Please, know we love you and will always be here for any reason you might need or want us! Blessing; Your nephew and wife, Henry Virgil and Evelyn

Brother you were the most perfect brother we sisters could have ever had. I will miss you but in my heart I know you are rejoycing in Heaven with mama and all of our loved ones. We always knew you and Betty were here for any of us!, If we needed you, you were just a phone call away. You provided a safe feeling in our hearts, to give us good advice and love. You were like a daddy to Henry Virgil,, he loved and admired you more than any man he has ever known! What I neeed and enjoyed most these past few years has been the prayer chain!You can count on us to always be here for Betty and the girls. When God brought Betty into your life and our lives it was as if she has ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF US! I WILL MISS YOU BUT FOR A SHORT WHILE AND THEN WE TOO WILL BE REJOYCING IN HEAVEN, BROTHER! With a sad heart I say Good-Bye for today but shall see you in the tomorrows! Reba

Mr. Kendrick worked with us for many years and paid regular visits to us and met with us often at Dreamweavers, Inc. in Little Rock. Everyone lit up when Mr. Kendrick walked in the door. He was our mentor and friend. We learned so much from him and are forever grateful. May he rest well, and may you find comfort and strength in knowing how much we all cherished him. We will miss him so very much.

I had the wonderful pleasure of knowing this man for such a short time, but I knew him as "PAPA K". I worked with him at Datafix, Inc. in Little Rock and he was always very helpful and kind. He touched many lives on his journey to heaven, he touched mine. To the family of Papa K, may the Good Lord bless and keep you always in his care. To Papa K, Thank You for taking the time to help me, you will be truly missed.

I have shared the life of a very dedicated family man with you. We have shared many stories about our grandchildren which made my work day happy . I am a new grandmother and I got information from Mr. Kendrick that will last me a lifetime. I celebrate his life today, knowing he left this world a better place by sharing his love, his wisdom, and his family stories with him. Sincerely Jackie Harris/Arvest Bank

Beloved Kendrick Family, Clinging to the promises of God, holding loved ones close in embrace, uplifting one another in prayer, letting our dear L.C. go to be with his Lord. Christ was our example. L.C. has gone to get our mansions ready! I'm sure he won't mind using gold instead of cedar. All our love in Christ, Allen and Marybeth
