My thoughts and prayers go out to Ken and his family. I work at the Masoninc Home in the Recreation Dept. I enjoyed coming to work each day watching Marj cruise through the halls in her wheelchair anxiously waiting for her loving husband to come up and visit her. The love between the two of them just gave me hope each day. Seeing the smile on her face when Ken visited was what it was all about. GOD BLESS.
