My heart is broken! I will miss you Dr. Kenney at ATMIM conferences. Thank you for everything. I have been in education for 30 years and yet, you always showed me something new! You were an inspiration. May your soul rest in peace until we meet again. My prayers are with your loved ones and friends.
So terribly sorry to hear of Peg Kenney’s passing. Such a great gal and most loyal member of the B.C. class of “57. Her involvment in all the alumni reunions and trips was so instrumental in their successes. A frienship that will surely be missed. May you rest in peace..
