Sorry to hear about the parents.

Poor kids, hopefully a family member will take care of them.

Good luck to everybody involved in that tragedy.

he's the father of kenny and will be taking care of the kids with the help from other family members, but the kids will all be together

also on a good note here is the update on the children

stay updated here for updates on Kenny and Sheila's memorial services at Calvary Chapel Las Vegas. 2 of their children are at home while the eldest girl (Micaela) is recovering in ICU at UMC. Please continue to direct your prayers her way
