Ken - Death comes uninvited; it dares to steal time we wish to make stand still. When the battle is done and our hearts are so weary, it´s the love and the memories that wash over us and offer comfort. I have so many, many memories of a happy Kris. She has physically left this world, but I know her spirit will always be here. Sending love to you & the boys. Wish I could be there on Sunday, but know I´m thinking of you all.
