I was able to watch videos of the memorial hosted here in Salt Lake City for Kerry. Three of his aunts and some cousins joined the memorial. It was good to see them. Angie was one of the cousins there. I met her the same night I met Kerry at the bar called Bricks on that Memorial Day weekend over 25 years ago.

She was a big part of Kerry’s life and a great friend to me. I will always value that. She was fiercely protective of Kerry. He deserved every bit of that. We had some very fun times together over the years. Kerry and I helped her get into her first and second homes. We help rehab them. I met her in Provo and my boss, Starla’s home at the time to dig up bushes to bring to her new home and plant. I painted the entire outside of that home.

It was a sad memorial because I was vilified a toxic person who was mean to Kerry. LMAO. You have to be fucking kidding me right?

There was one individual there who really had a chip on her shoulder. I was worried about watching some of the videos and how I would react them. Would it take me back into the depression I have been in? Would I be sad? Would I cry? Would I fall off the wagon and want to start drinking again? NOPE none of that happened. I watched all of the videos with ease and laughed at some of stories being told.

Kerry had told his stories to so many people so many times that they will live on as great memories of him. I should send a message to Teresa about the “Titty” story. His Aunt LIola told the story. She did a pretty good job too!

Anyway, Rhonda was the last to get up and talk about Kerry. She said she had reconnected with him in November after our spilt had been finalized. She said she was so proud of him for finally getting out of our toxic relationship that I had caused. She told everyone how kind and love Kerry was. That part is true. And she also told everyone how unkind and uncaring I was. WOW.

This coming after all I had done for her as well. But, as a simple person, you have to make yourself look good in the eyes of those around you. I am being a bit petty about this and I apologize. But for someone who cannot manage their finances well and has to continue to refinance their home because they keep getting into little “pickles.” I tried to help them and I got them into a great loan.

But as I predicted to Kerry, they refinanced themselves out of being able to afford the beautiful home they had and ended up moving into a town home. Sad. What she failed to mention is that she screwed Kerry out of his commission on both a sale and purchase. She brought Kerry over to their home on the pretense of listing it. I remember how excited he was because it was going to be a big commission for him and he really needed it.

She walked him through the house, got his advice on what they needed to do in order for the home to sell quickly. He had all the paperwork there ready to list the home. At the end, she and Mike told him they were listing with someone else and also using that person to buy their new place. But she used Kerry’s advice for how to list and what to list it for. she doesn’t realize how much she hurt Kerry. I am sure that did not come up in their “reconnection conversation.” She meant nothing to him because he didn’t like her.

The only reason why I am sure he was talking to her was it was another ear who would listen to Kerry’s victimization. apparently they did a butterfly send off. I am sure it was my client who provided the butterflies so in a way I made money off of the memorial LOL. She wanted to make sure everyone knew she was going to post it to Facebook so I could see it. Unfortunately, I had already blocked her so I didn’t see it and her vindictiveness was spoiled. So sad.

I said good bye to Kerry last weekend and I meant it. Kerry will be remembered by me and my family for who he was. He will be remember for both the good and the bad. But he will not be remembered as a bad person. He was not that. He was an addict and the addiction took over. He was not himself at the end.
