So thankful you were able to be such a big part of your dad's life, Shane. What a blessing your parents have been for you, your family, and Kim. And what blessings all of you are to them. Sending prayers of peace and comfort to all who love Ken. Love lives beyond death and Ken will be beside you and within in you all through your lives. What more can we ask than we make a positive difference for those around us. Ken did just that.
