To the family, I am sorry to hear of your father's death. Ken, you and I have shared so many stories about growing up as preacher's kids. We have compared experiences, laughed, and commiserated, but now no words can express my feelings for your loss.

So sorry for the loss of this wonderful man, he was my Pastor at two different times in my life, I will never forget his sweet and kind ways, his family and our family have been connected for many, many years and he made a huge impact on my life. Thank you Bro Kirkman for all that you taught me, now you are enjoying Heaven, where you longed to be.
