August 22, 2010

My condolences to Ken's family and friends. Anna, I am truly sorry for your loss as Ken was one of kind and will never be replaced on this earth. I had the pleasure of running on convoy with him while I was in Iraq and will always remember how he helped me get through the scariest night of my life over there when I wrecked my truck and when they finally freed me and walked me back up on the MSR he was the first one to give me a bear hug and tell me that everything would be alright. Rest in Peace my friend and I'll see you again someday.

We’re With You
When you miss him,
we’re with you in spirit,
wondering how you feel,
hoping you’re coping,
and getting a little better each day.
We understand.
We care.
