Not sure what to say?

Mr. Ken was a huge part of my life as a child. He and Mrs. Bill were like our grandparents, ever-present no matter where we lived. He will be greatly missed by all who loved him. Our prayers are with the family during this difficult time. May God grant you peace.

BILL BRUMFIELD.

SOME TIMES WORDS ARE INADEQUATE TO DO THE JOB. THAT IS SO NOWS. YOU LOST A BEST HUSBAND AND I LOST A BEST FRIEND. KEN WAS LOVED BY ALL OF US. GOD BLESS YOU AND HE WILL HELP YOU THROUGH THIS VERY HARD TIME.

I loved Mr. Ken like a granddad. He was a part of every special event in our family's lives. He had a sense of humor and a love of life and family. What a wonderful man who will be greatly missed. I love you, Mrs. Bill and pray for you and your family during this difficult time.

Thinking of you at this time.
