Hello, my name is Katrina Balunas. As I was looking at my dad's guest book, (Gary Balunas), I wanted to extend my heart to you. The best I can say, is to keep your head up. Kenneth will always be with you, as my dad, Gary, is with me.

Please do not worry, my dad and mom will take great care of him. I promise.

It is tough, but hang in there. My dad always said, "As one door closes, another will open."

I am here for you from the kindness of my heart. And please remember, our angels are with us.

We offer our condolences to the entire Balunas family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

While we have not seen Ken in many years, we will NEVER forget his laughter. So memorable was this laughter, we can actually hear him now!

May the memories of all the good times with Ken sustain you all.
