Mary Anne, my sympathy goes out to you in the passing of Kendred. I have been here in Australia with my family since February, therefore was unaware of his present health situation. I know he has beaten the odds before, he was a fighter. I was on Garrettsykes site to read about Jackie Brinkley when I saw about Kendred. Not having your phone number I felt this was my only way of sending my condolences. You and the family are in my prayers.
