My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

Ken, I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Your mother will need you more now than ever. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. Also, please know I am thinking of you and your family at this very sad time.

Love the way Ron always wore a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye each time we met him!!! Funny how we had a friend in common ----- a pretty nurse who was working at the Mission Hospital in Dumaguete, where I had Silliman U nursing students do clinical practice! Yet I never knew Ron till we met in Seattle!!!
