Dear Sylvia and girls. I am very sad to hear about Ken's passing. I know you had big plans coming up and that is so sad as well. Sylvia, I remember sitting side by side at our VNA desks and talking about this nice cop who was making it his business to stop and talk to you. The sweet beginning of new love. Was it really 40 years ago? My prayers are with you and the girls as you navigate this life without Ken. May you feel God's comfort ,peace and direction today and in the days to come.

Sylvia, Jill and Andrea, May your hearts remember the good times fondly to comfort as you grieve. Prayers of comfort, peace, and healing of your hearts are being said.
