Dearest Sue,
It was such a lovely memorial and it is so hard to believe he is not here with us. We all loved Kenny so much with his gentlness and his compassion for people.
He was so good to me and my family and will be greatly missed.
Sue,...we love you so much and want you to know you can call us day
or night for anything. You were so dedicated to Kenny and I saw your sadness of knowing he was dying. It was hard to watch you and I just wanted to take that sorrow away but that is part of the cycle.
Weeping may last an evening but joy will come in the morning. It will happen one of these days Sue and it is OK to mourn in your way as long as you need.
We are there for you and love you! Xoxoxoxoxox
We miss you terribly Kenny but know your hanging out with your other family and in peace. Xoxoxo

Sue and Family:
A tragic loss for you to bear but remember in your times of sorrow and mourning that Ken was a good man. You might take solace in the fact that he is now in heaven and that finally, all the years of his pain and suffering are over. May God Bless his eternal soul. So long for now Ken, my dear friend. Until we meet again.

Sue this is such a good picture of Kenny. We have so many "old" memories that I will never forget. I am so glad I stopped by last Friday to see you and Ken and be able to visit our memories. Thanks for taking such good care of him through out the years. Love to you and your family. Love Claudia
