Ken,
i went to your memorial service yesterday and i met Brenda she's such a sweet person... well i couldn't sleep and was thinking of you so here's to you doll......

**Sitting here, thinking back when you were here
how i felt your presence so close and near
loving every moment that i spent with you
why did you go away? why did you leave me blue? Many memories all in which i'll keep in my heart
sitting here crying alone tonight, i'm falling apart
your gone now except you're gone forever
it shouldn't have happened now, not now or ever

so sad yet thankful that i've had you in my life
and even if now many people will live in strife
such a wonderful soul that everyone did love
no more pain now as you set your wings for above

In my heart i'll hold you close, never let you go
i loved you so much, i will always so you know
always in my mind is where i'll see your face
a person like you in this lifetime no one will replace

In the photo's i have that show you off tonight
i will forever hold on to your spirit ever so tight
and one day i'll see you again when? i don't know
Rest In Peace Ken i'll never let you go........

"If tears could have saved you
you'd have lived forever"

My thoughts and prayers go out to Ken's family, friends and Brenda and her kids. I know how much everyone love Ken, including myself. He was an amazing man with a smile on his face 99.9% of the time and always making a joke or trying to make people smile and laugh. He always welcomed you with a warm hug and was a unique individual. I know that he is resting peacefully and with his mom up in heaven. Unfortunately it was his time to go and leave us here on Earth, but he must have some other things that God needs him for up in Heaven. I love you Ken and rest in peace. You will always live in my heart.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Finny I can't believe you're gone! Your memory will live on in the hearts in all that were honored to meet you. You were so full of life, and happiness. I will always hold a special place in my heart just for you. And anytime i hear "superman" or pink floyd i will forever think of you. I know you're in heaven with your mom and you're at peace... knowing that i can accept this! I love you!
