I am so sorry for your loss. Please accept my sincere condolences. May you find comfort in the words written at John 5:28,29, where God promises to bring back to life those we have lost in death by means of a resurrection. In the future He will also do away with our enemy, death.(1Corinthians 15:26) This gives us the wonderful hope of being reunited with our loved ones forever. Until then, I hope the memories of Kenneth and these promises from God comfort you now and in the days to come.

Dear DuRee family,
I was saddened to hear of Mr. DuRee's passing. He was one of the BEST substitute teachers Central has ever had come through our doors. I feel priviledged to have known and worked with such a kind and considerate man. He always greeted the children with a smile and was so friendly to each student. He will be missed by all who knew him and were taught by him. There will be a special angel in Heaven watching over you as you go through your lives' journey. Thoughts and prayers and May God embrace each of you. Sincerely, Sherry Aheron
