As we sat waiting for your arrival Saturday night, we received the horrifing call that our friend would not arrive to watch another sport that he had grown to love...UFC. We had made it a habit to have your family at every event that we ordered because you made the event!!! Just your company especially the jokes you told and how you made Jimmy and us laugh. We thought we had a UFC tradition going with you, Lisa, and Drake. Renee had even learned that you liked to have something sweet after you ate all the icing off of the cake after one of the UFC fight's. "My Brother" You never left or I never left without you hugging me and saying "Ya know you and me we are brother's man." We will miss you and may you Rest In Peace. "My Brother" I wish you were here so I could hug you now and tell you"You know we are Brothers"

Our sincere condolences to the entire Booth family. Once uopon a time Vicki and I were very close and she used to take Brooke down to swim in the pool. She thought Vicki was so "cool" and as she is the mother of a beautiful year old son herself now , she knows how it feels to be nagged (Mom, Can we go to Vicki's parent's pool?. Both Kenny and Carl were always so kind to her and I am forever grateful> One day she asked again and I said "NO. Brooke, you were just there, we are not going to Draper". A few minutes later she came back in and asked "Mom, Is Draper at the end of the earth?" and I laughed so hard and said "Well, almost".I also credit the Booths with turning her into a water baby as I could not swim and she and Vicki were out in the son and I stuck my head out and said What are you doing, "Just catching some rays , Mom" Sweet memories of all the Booth's and this so sad and tragic I can barely type w/o tears for all. Having just lost my school chum Carla and now this, such good people. Just remember. as I know there are no words that suffice at a time like this so I just say"God gave us memories so that we may have roses in December" God bless you all. Nancy Watkins Jones and Brooke Craig Carroll, Raleigh, NC

My heart goes out to Lisa and her family and Jean and her family. I would see Kenny several times a day at work(Miller) and he always had a beautiful smile and kind words for me. As I was leaving work on my last day at Miller we stopped in the hallway and he wished me well on my retirement. That was my last conversation with him and a memory of how kind Kenny was. May you find peace in God's comfort during this difficult time in your lives. Praying for your families.
