To the family,
So sorry to hear of the passing of Donna & Kenny. We knew them from the shag world & love of dancing & music. May your wonderful memories help at this time.
Aaron and Abby, we are heartbroken to hear of Donna and Kenny’s passing. We had some great times with them over the years, such a great couple. They were definitely meant to be together on earth and now in the presence of the Lord. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family at this most difficult time. 🕊️🕊️
