Paulette, Nancy, and family - I was unable to attend the visitation or the service for Ken. I'm sure his homegoing service was wonderful, because if there was ever anyone bound for glory it was Ken. I have such happy memories of our times together at both Parker and Trusty, and all the times Ken would attend Christmas parties and other celebtrations. I hated to see him coming to the Clearinghouse after his diagnosis, even though he was always upbeat and positive. He was one of those truly great men - husband, father, grandfather etc. I just hope that someday people will remember me in as good a light as we all remember Ken. God will strengthen you during this time. Weep for yourselves, but not for him. He is happy todoay and forever.
