Re: Khamari Campbell 
My grandson, Khamari, lost his battle with brain cancer (GLIOMA) on May 29, 2017. 
It is with great appreciation to all of you who prayed for his healing. Your thoughts, concerns and caring made it less difficult for all of us. Most of all, I thank those of YOU who supported the effort to ease the heartache of enduring this dreadful disease. His quality of life was very good. 
I’ll cherish the association and friendships I made with all of you over the years; couldn’t be in a better industry where friends and family come first. It is not your words that made it less painful, but, your actions. 
I will always be grateful to all of you who had the courage to take a stand and not be politically correct when an association family member need an ear, shoulder or hug. 
God Bless, 
Willie Pennington
