Prayers for your family are being lifted up. Words can't express the loss we all feel when we remember both Billie and Ken Sr. What a pair they were! They loved and cared for their children and their numerous dogs. The first time I met with Billie and Ken they left my office to check on the new puppies in the truck. Many stories told about dog trials, kids and grand-kids trials. Billie was kind and caring. Very generous and real person. Nothing was plastic or fake with Billie. Life won't be the same without them!
