In Loving Memory
ELKINO “KINO” MILLER November 02, 1974 – September 12, 2024
Another year has passed, and not a day goes by that you’re not thought of. We still long to hear your voice, answer another call, see your smile, or hope you would stop by just one more time.
Memory Of In Loving
KERMIT BERTRAM (K. P.) PAUL 15 September 1941 – 4 September 2020
Our hearts ache knowing your life was taken from us, and we often wonder about those final moments and whether you knew just how deeply you were loved.
This is your sixth heavenly birthday. No farewell words spoken! They say that memories are golden, but we wanted you here with us. We miss your voice, your smile that can NEVER be forgotten.
Kino, your absence is felt every day. We miss you more than words can express, but we hold close the memories you gave us and the love you left behind.
Time has soften the pain, but it cannot diminish the love we carry for you, and the legacy you have left behind.
His memory lives on in the hearts of his mother: Shevamae; stepdad: Berkley; siblings: Elliott, Tieasher, Berquel, Brittany, and Branee; children, grandchildren; nieces and nephews, especially Marquez; and all those who loved him dearly.
Too loved to be forgotten!
Continue to sleep comfortably in the arms of Jesus!
We love you, Wife: Betty, Children, Grand Children, Great-Grand Children and the entire family
