Not sure what to say?

Dearest Eleanor, Bruce, Martha and Families,

My heart aches with yours as we say goodbye to Ken. You have been kind to us since we came in 1980 and have been our famiy.

I will never forget Ken making me a special box with 2 rocks in it in 1988. He gave it to me and winked when he said "you have lost so much weight, I made this to help you keep from blowing away!" He made my day as he knew how hard I was trying to lose weight.

This is my best memory!!! I...

Mrs. Arey,
Each time I came home, Mr. Arey always made a point to make sure he found me at church to say hello and he always had a huge smile on his face. I cherish the bowl that he made us out of an apple tree that I climbed as a little kid that came from my Mom and Dad's property.
I love you too, Annie Nelson

Ken spoke of his love for the Lord and the Lords church at our last Sr.Saints gathering, only a few weeks ago.What a wonderful way to be remembered, praising the Lord.
Love you Eleanor but God loves you even more.
Don and Juanita Nelson

Dear Eleanor,

We were all so enriched by knowing Ken for so many years. Your marriage was an inspiration to us all, and was pleasing to God. I am sure that God is speaking to Ken now, saying "Well done, good and faithful servant". We love you, Eleanor.

Dear Eleanor and Family, We are so sorry for your loss. Ken was such a cheerful and knowledgeable man. I will never forget our wedding when Ken and my grandfather- Gene Carey- reconnected after so long from working at Pratt & Whitney together. What a small world! Our family's prayers are with you at this time.
With Love,

Eleanor and Family,

Ken was such an amazing man. We really enjoyed having conversations with Ken and he was always full of wisdom and love. We will always treasure the wooden bowl he made us for our wedding. The loss of Ken here on earth is a gain to the Lord in Heaven who is embracing Ken in his arms for an eternity of paradise. We love you Ken and always will. Our prayers are with you Eleanor and your family as you endure this difficult time.

With Love,

Dear Sweet Eleanor, I do think of you often of your tender spirit and hospitality you both always showed us. The Lord brings home many thoughts and peace to all that will turn to him. I am always telling my kids that behind every dark cloud there is a rainbow. Hopefully for you there will be many. In Christian Love, Fred and Marveta
