Prayers to the entire family, especially to Kevin. She was always very kind to me back in the day.
Kevin & Kelly, my heart aches for both of you. So glad I got to visit with her a few years back the weekend of our high school reunion. You were her pride and joy. So many memories running through my head from growing up with you on Fairview Court to my favorite Kentucky History teacher. Loved her to the moon and back. My thoughts and prayers are with you both. May the memories you have warm your hearts. My thoughts and prayers are with you both. Elaine (Howard) Edwards aka: Lainey

What a dear Mrs.Hendren was to me. We reconnected after I retired and began a part time job at Peavler\’s Greenhouse 10 years ago.She was always bringing me pies,bread,candy that she had prepared and lovingly gave away. I am so very sorry for the passing of your mother….

Such a sweet lady.
Kelly, Nancy and I are so sorry for your loss. Please know that you and your family are in out thoughts and prayers. Your mother is such a sweet person. I always enjoyed being able to come into her room at Harrodsburg and spending time talking to her. She always had such a great outlook on life and enjoyed being around people. She helped a lot of people with her program in Adult Learning and I know that many people in the community benefitted from her tireless efforts.
Kevin and Kelly, so very sorry to hear of the passing of your Mother. Her pretty smile and kind ways meant the world to me when we were neighbors. She always had a thoughtful, kind word for me. Nothing is more important when you\’re a child. I pray God\’s comfort for both of you.
Kevin and family, I just learned about Mrs. Hendren passing. I want to offer my sympathy.
Kevin, I am so glad to have had the privilege to have met your mother. She was so down to earth with such a warm personality. I couldn\’t help but smile once I could put the face with the lovely cakes you shared with us at work. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during your time of grief.
You will be missed.
