Boston Memorial, Saturday April 11

At sunrise this morning (6:10 Bangkok time), Kenny's family met at a hilltop near Boston. There are 16 of us and we each carried a helium balloon on which we each write a special message to Kenny.

We let the balloons go and watched them get carried away up in the sky and across the universe.

We all gathered at Kenny's brother's house at the same time Kenny's friends gathered at his apartment in Bangkok - and we wish that we could all have been together.

We have spent the last 6 days in shock - with lots of questions, lots of tears and lots of laughter as we remember funny Kenny stories. We know how much he loved Yesi, Eliza and Robert and his friends and extended family.

We've been amazed by the web of people, literally around the planet, who were touched by Kenny's gentle soul. Please remember his wit, his funny laugh, his crazy stories and most of all how much he loved all of us.

Dyala, Carla, Stacey, Sean, Martha, Sheelah, Tom, Robin, Steve (and all the nieces and nephews)
