Scott, Therese, and the entire Campbell family, we are thinking of you and are so sorry for your loss.

What started as a brief encounter at our favorite Mexican restaurant (EL Zarape), developed into an endearing friendship. Our ventures to England and Germany with Ken and Kathy will always be treasured. Over the years, we laughed so much together that we almost cried. Genuine tears were shed however, when we lost a dear friend. We were blessed to have had Ken in our lives and will continue to cherish the relationship that we have with Kathy.

Love,

Bob and Carol Cibic
