The pastor that did Kens funeral message today was spot on. You and Ken make everyone feel like family. From the first time you met us 6 1/2 years ago and invited us to Matt and Callie's wedding we were made to feel like a part of the family and have always felt that way ever since

Cathy. I had planned to be there for services for you. I just checked for the services and so sad to see that i missed them. I had a therapy appointment and just plain did not check yesterday or I would have changed it. My love to you and your family. I sent you my phone number. Any time you need anything I can do for you or just someone to talk to, use it. Just so sorry I missed being there. We have to get together soon. Love you friend,

When I was just a very little girl, one of my neighbor's passed away and his wife was devastated. She was crying hard on another neighbor's shoulder and asking "Why...WHY? Mrs. Lewis, who had been there, done that, and had a number of children by a husband who had passed away several years before told Mrs Aquino..."God doesn't want all bad people...he needs some of the good ones too!" I've never forgotten her statement and it has helped me many times over the years. From what Rob has told me and from the way he would talk about Ken (and you all), he was "one of the good ones". Thank you Ken and family for helping a young man grow up into a wonderful adult. Rob has many, many good memories because of you!
