Good afternoon family and friends of Ms Carolyn Kennedy. One year ago on December 17th in Myrtle Beach South Carolina Carolyn and her friends were at my home to celebrate Monterey’s birthday dinner. After spending most of the day on the Big M sailing the ocean around in Myrtle Beach they came to my home and Carolyn was eating chitlins and everything else you could call Soul Food. Carolyn said she shouldn’t be eating these chitlins but she think she’ll have a little more. Monterey is my first cousin we grew up together and she introduced me to Carolyn by way of telephone. Monterey was planning a holiday feast for her husband’s family and of course she conferred with Carolyn. Carolyn called me and Read Me My Rights after introducing her self over the phone to tell me certain things that I need to do. Of course I knew she was a strong woman then giving me advice a stranger to her as what I need to do to make this banquet a success. She meant what she said and said what she meant and let me know that and no uncertain terms. A great lady in my heart and soul. Walter and Natasha rest assured that your mother is wrapped in the bussom of Abraham. God bless you today and always. Eula Diuguid Schnell
My deepest condolences to Walter and Natasha. Losing a mother is the hardest thing I had to deal with and I’m not going to say it’s going to get easier as time passes because it really doesn’t but I will say each day that goes by, and each memory that you have of her will help you cope and make it through the tough days.
We are sending our deepest condolences to Walter and Natasha and the rest of the family. May God give you all the strength you need to get through this difficult time. She is no longer suffering and getting her rest. I hope you find comfort in reflecting on the wonderful times times you have shared together.
Our deepest condolences to the Kennedy family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May God continue to comfort you during your bereavement. Her soul is now resting and is at peace. May you cherish the loving memories. We love you.

It has been truly an amazing honor and Privilege to be by your side throughout your life as a Son to love, and learn to be successful in life. I will continue to walk in your footsteps and have a drive to become more than what I am. Guide me Spiritually through this life and be an Angel around me at all times. Let me know what its like in the Kingdom of Heaven, but also now as I continue to walk the earth I just want to show everyone a great example of what a child of God is and to do everything with Love. Be my Angel Cheerleader. Even though I can’t naturally hear your voice again. I will hear you and talk to you always in spirit. I love you. Even though you left early, I’m not alone. We will always be together in spirit. Thank you so much for sharing and showing me so much. I could not appreciate or applaud you enough as a single parent who has made it and become successful. With that being said, its enough for me to keep fighting like you have and keep on the whole armor of God and keep fighting, keep loving, and keep on being a Kennedy like you. Thank you so much.
