Not sure what to say?

Judy, Ryan, Keith, and Brenna and family,

I'm so sorry to hear of Ken's passing. I will remember him always as someone who was so nice to my mother, as you all were, especially Judy. I'll remember his delicious cooking and hosting me on Mother's Days. I know he helped a lot of people and served well as a senator. He was a true renaissance man and he will be missed.

Judy, Ryan, Keith, and Brenna,

My son Stephen and I wish to express our deepest sympathies on the loss of your husband and your father.
Both Stephen and I have fond memories of our many years in Arlington living just a street
away.
Stephen is a friend of Ryan and has messaged him on Facebook.
All of you are in our thoughts and prayers.

A real human being who I am honored to say is in my treasured memories. Prayers for him and his entire family are sent by me. With deepest regrets Margarette Masotta

As the former Executive Director of Minuteman Senior Services I worked with Ken Donnelly since he joined the Senate in 2009. He was a passionate advocate for seniors, always accessible to his constituents and armed with a great smile and a determination to make life better.

On behalf of the members of Lexington At Home, a local social support network of seniors, we extend our sincere condolences and immense gratitude for his work on behalf of senior citizens. His appearances at meetings of our group were memorable and exceptionally reassuring. We have lost a true friend.
Gary Fallick, President, Lexington At Home

Great family man and neighbor.

To the Donnelly Family: Senator Donnelly proposed legislation to reform bail in the Comonwealth, because he was concerned for the very poor who are often held for weeks after being arrested, despite the fact that no court has declared them guilty of the charges. He defended the rights of those without representation, who for lack of funds are deprived of basic rights. God bless him and you. He left us far too soon.
