Dear Sandy,
Ken was more like a "brother" to us and we will miss all the wonderful times we enjoyed together over the years. We have many memories of trips to Williamsburg, holiday meals, and just driving to our favorite places. Ken would want you to be happy; he knows you took very good care of him until the end. He is at peace now. We will miss him always, but he is in a better place.
Love,
Your sister and brother-in-law, Linda and Victor Dupuis

So sorry to hear of your loss and our loss as well. That man just knew how to smile and keep a positive attitude right through the pain. We love you dearly and are praying for you.
"What a day that will me, when my Jesus I will see. What a day, glorious day that will be." May God keep you in perfect peace!
Love you,

OH Sandy, Paul and I are saddened to hear of your husband's passing. Although none of us ever wanted to see this day come, WHAT A DAY FOR HIM! Bros Ken was a special man with a kind heart and a gentle smile that all of us who loved him will carry with us until we see him again one day. We will cherish all the wonderful memories we shared together on this earth but it's the eternal days to come without any pain or sorrow that will be our true joy & fulfillment. We will not say goodbye to our dear sweet Brother, we choose to say, "See ya over yonder Bros Ken". Our thoughts are with you Sis Sandy. We are praying God's love and comfort will surround you and sustain you during these dark days. With much love and sympathy,

I will miss Ken and his big smile that always warmed my heart. What a very sweet man. I am so thankful he is now in a better place with our Lord. What a great promise we have in Jesus. Sandy, I love you so much. Although I don't know what it is like to lose my husband of 34 years, I hope that I can support you through prayer and anything else you might need. Margie Schanbacher

There are special times in which family and friends come together. In those times we make wonderful memories that live on long afterward. But the day comes when we go home. Though we love home, our bed, our kitchen, and our stuff, we shed tears because we are going to miss those we love.
Bro. Ken went home this week! Oh, the love and memories will live on and in so many ways we will still see his influence and the marks he left on each of our lives. We will remember his smile, his gentle strength, and his love for his God.
No one will miss Bro. Ken more than you Sis. Sandy. There will be empty days and long nights. There will be memories that will bring a smile and a tear. Sis. Sandy, we love you and we want to be there for you.
Today let the words of the Apostle Paul lift your heart, "that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. -- Therefore encourage one another with these words."
Bro. Ken, you will be missed and there will be tears but we know you're enjoying being home. We have this hope, we will be together again.
