Siblings Remarks
Steven - Those last few days we spent with you in the hospital were some of the hardest moments in my life. Though it is painful knowing you are gone, I know you are no longer suffering and are in a better place. So when those feelings of grief start to roll in, I will remind myself of this and be grateful that you are. I love you my baby sister, Kendle, always.
Gregory - I don't know where to start, or how best to explain my memories and feelings about my kid sister, Kendle. When we were kids they said Kendle and I were alike. When you're a kid you spent most of your time looking out for your siblings. As you get older, things change, and you think they can take care of themselves and don't need you as much. However, they still need their big brothers, even if it's just to conversate. I wish I had done more of that, and wish I dedicated more time to her. I miss her. When she called our conversations were brief and not about much. I wish we spent more time talking about fun memories and made plans to see each other. The thing I'll remember most about Kendle is the strength of her spirit and that she really cared about her family. How she'd always call to check on my wife and kids to see how they were doing and send them words of encouragement. I will truly miss her.
Denise - My sister, she is and will always be a light in my life. Kendle wasn’t afraid to tell it like it is. She always believed in family and friends, teaching children, (which she did a wonderful job at in the Virginia school district), and playing the drums with her group. She also enjoyed teaching black history to us all. Kendle started her own business called fly riders women's motorcycle clothing. I have learned about music, books, herbs, our ancestors, and different beliefs such as Yoruba through her.
Kendle bowed out gracefully from life on a cold Sunday morning with the words bye-bye. Kendle is my ancestor and her light will always be with me.
