As a neighbor next door to Ken and Diane for many years, we watched their family and their children growing together with the love of the Lord. Ken's calling to serve the Lord and visiting the sick each day was a blessing to many. I know, because after my colon operation Ken visited me every day to pray together. I know that really helped. There are so many good memories. Our heartfelt condolences to Diane, and all of Ken's family and friends.
