As the former wife of Kirk for over ten year's and the mother of his only child, Jennifer ( she was named after Kirk's mother Virginia....however I insisted that she not be named Virginia, but Jennifer, and he relented and we both decided that we would call her Jenny, which is close to Ginny); I believe that I am qualified to say a few things about him.
He was a very good and spiritual man, with a genuine goodness in his soul. Although we did not see eye to eye on everything, he proved to be a fantastic father to his daughter, our sweet Jenny. Did he do everything right? Of course not, but he did so many things right for our daughter that the things he did wrong are irrelevant. I too have done many things wrong. But the love for a parent is almost perfect and she forgave us both for our ineptness.
Jenny is "our" future. How wonderful he must have felt about that in his last moments, because he knew as I do, that she is such a remarkable daughter; kind, loving, caring and completely unselfish towards her own needs, even at the time of his looming death. I'm sure that he died with both peace and pride in his heart, knowing that he'd done everything in his power to make Jenny happy on this earth, until they meet again in Heaven. I'm so sorry that Kirk was taken to Heaven so early, but hoping that God has a special plan for that.
