Terry And Karen Villines - Friend
Kerry was definitely our favorite "cool cousin". Although we didn't spend lots of time together due to the distance we lived apart, when we did get to hang out I remembered we pestered and followed him around constantly. Poor guy...three little girls constantly on his tail!!! Our thoughts are with all friends and family who knew and loved Kerry...
Keri Pommerenk (slaughter) - Cousin
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of your loss. No words can express what you must be feeling. May the Lord be very near each one and lift you up and He will carry you through. Betty Thurman
Betty Thurman - Friend Of Family And Kerry's Neighbor
Kerry was our "summertime" big brother and the son my Dad never had. I have so many great memories playing and hanging out together when we were little. My sisters and I worshiped him. He had Atari, a pet rat and chewed tobacco. All things we didn't have and couldn't do. Did you know that according to Kerry, if you eat paper it goes straight to your muscles? I only regret now not maintaining our relationship into adulthood and parenthood. Of all my cousins, he was my favorite. Aunt Patty, Kim, Kevin and the rest of the family, we are sending you lots of love and are very sorry you have to experience such pain.
Alice (slaughter) Toth - Cousin
I loved Kerry very much. Even though back in the 80's he called me a Madonna wannabe and I had to strike back with the lame answer that he was a Willie Nelson wannabe. WOW was I wrong.
Heather Slaughter - Cousin
