Ann Ryan KenJr. Sara & Casey & Mom Ken will be sadly missed by all of us. His time with us wasn't long enough but I guess God had better plans for him. So I guess we should all share our memories wether they be good or bad or even sad. It will help us to remember him and keep him alive in our hearts forever.So whenever you think of a funny thing he did laugh and share it,Whenever you miss him say it talk to him cause he's listening! Rest in peace Ken Love your sis Diane

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Our deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

Emma, I will always remember, it was shortly after your family moved in next door. One day we were playing in the yard and Kenny heard my mom call out to me "Rosie" in spanish and he asked me, "Your mom calls you horsey?" I told him no, she was calling me Rosie in spanish. Still the next day, Kenney told everyone in our third grade class my mom calls me Horsey. He use to call me that all the time after that, but I never got offended by it, and in fact I have shared that story with many friends throughtout the years. I've always remembered that situation fondly. Even though we did not remain close after we got older, I will always remember the crazy things he use to do that always made us laugh when we were kids.

Eddies also sends his sympathy for your lose and his & my prayers are with you and your family at this time.
