Dear Heather,
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and your entire family during this time. Unfortunately, I didn't have the privilege of knowing your father, but if you are any type of reflection of him he must have been a wonderful man. May God's grace cover you during your sorrow.
Love,

Dear Bernie and family,
After years of working with such a beautiful, intelligent and strong woman (the one and only Bernie) I have been blessed to get to know her family through her eyes. My thoughts go out to all of you at this most difficult time. We are never prepared to loose a loved one.

Bernie, you have been my friend and mentor, but most of all you showed me your faith and your love by continuing to bring light where there seemed only dark with your warm smile. I will always cherish the opportunity I had during the corporate banquet to not only get to know the fabulous Ken that you spoke of, but of course the privledge of sharing a dance with him. He was a wonderful dancer! You are both such wonderful people and it saddens me that this world is short one of God's greatest angels. All my love and prayers!

Dear Bernie and family,

I'm so sorry to hear the news of Ken's passing. Even though I never met the family, Ken always talked about his family and the trips to the beach. I know he loved you all very much. I had the privledge to work with Ken for about 2 yrs with Terminix, I considered him a friend. I could never get him to stop talking about the Patriots, because I was a Cowboy fan. My family's prayers and thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, in your time of sorrow.
Heather, your Dad will be greatly missed but he will always walk beside you and your family, each and everyday of your lives, guiding you, loving you and sharing in your memories.
Emme and Tristan, Grampy maybe in heaven, but each night before you go to bed, if you look up at the night sky you will always see a star shining bright, and that will be Grampy looking down on both of you.

We are here for you all.

Bernie and Family,

I was so sorry to hear about the loss of Kenny. I have known Bernie for a short time, 6 months, but feel very blessed to be working for such a strong woman.

Everyone knows Kenny is in a much better place and God now has bigger plans for him. Unfortunately, it is very difficult for those who love him and were close to him.

Sincerely,

Bernie, Heather, Todd & Family,

We are so sorry for your loss. Through Bernie's stories, I learned
about Kenny, and what an amazing
husband, father and grandfather he was. He had a very strong spirit to
fight for so long, and that strong spirit will live on in your wonderful
memories of him. I hope those memories help you through in these
most difficult and painful of times,
and please know you are in my family's prayers.

To Ken ...I am so sorry I never got to meet you. Knowing Bernie and her devotion to you left me in awe as to what a special being you were to be such a brave warrior and endure 10 years of pain with such a good attitude. You did your family and God proud, Kenny. May you Rest In Peace
