I was very saddened to see the article regarding Ken's passing in the paper today (10/6/09) but yet it also gave me a great sense pride to learn of all the wonderful things that he did to make the world a better place.

Dear Jenice & to All The Family,
My Heart goes out to all of you at this very sad time. I am so very sorry I did not hear of Ken's illness or passing until later yesterday from a friend after Ken's funeral was already over.

With My Very Sincere Sympathy,

Jenice & Family,
We are so saddened by your loss & ours! What a wonderful man, leader & friend Kenny was to everyone. In following your families journey these past months, it was such a joy to watch how all of you gave everything you had to make every day special for him, not to mention the wonderful tributes that were created for the services. In talking with a fellow Realtor today, a comment was made that a true reflection of who Kenny really was could also be judged by the number of our fellow competitors that were present. He was quite a man & will be missed by everyone that knew him! Take care of yourselves. Cheryl Daniels & Proud To Be With Counselor Realty

Dear Jenice:
What a great loss. I remember Ken with great love in my heart. He was a true friend, in the good times and in the bad times.

You are, both, in my eyes, angels that God put on earth to enrich others’ lives. Ken is now in heaven, laughing with Doug and looking after us.

I am sending all my love to you, your children, and grandchildren.
