Mrs. Scheeler , our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. I valued the time that I spent with Ken in his workshop. Not just becoming a better carver in that time but becoming a better person by being with Ken. He was a great carver but an even greater person.

I think we all thought you were invincible to anything, that could over come any obstacle and that you would live forever.
With God being your right hand man there was never any reason to doubt it.
Throughout this, I came to realize that you lived your ENTIRE life for this moment.
To go home , Your real home, the place you made everyone you came in contact with know about, to live with the Lord God All Mighty.
Our entire family is a better family because of your devotion to God, your love and support. Our children's children will know the true reason of why we are here is to be a light and example unto God and its because of you that will continue.
You were and are an amazing man and teacher.Please watch over us and guide us and know that we miss you here so much but cant wait to see all the things you have to show us in heaven.
Until that day, I/we love you so much.
Love you Pop Pop watch over Nana by the way..??
