Dearest Ellen:
I can't think of a single thing to say to ease your emotional pain, except that I love you and pray that you find comfort in the memories of your closeness as a couple. You were Ken's earthly angel, while he now is your heavenly angel. I'm so honored that I was part of the union that brought the two of you together as man and wife.

To Ellen and to Ken's family, John and I were so fortunate to know Ken even for a relatively short time. He fought his many illnesses with such courage and set an example for us all. We were privileged to celebrate Ken's and Ellen's last anniversary with them and it was such a joy.
May God bless you all,

To the Family of "Mr. Peters", you were truly blessed to have such a fantastic husband and a father. I have so many fond memories of the 23 plus years I knew this man. I can remember the wedding, the salt water fishing trips, the birthday cruises to the Channel Islands, the pizza parties in the late 80's, being a neighbor in Ventura, the Christmas Parties, him becoming a "Grandpa" and all the fun and unusual times at the Medical Clinic. It was an honor to MC his civil service retirement. A great friend and a great mentor! We will miss his phone calls, his friendship and his laugh. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
