Dear Val
My sincerest condolences to you for the loss of your dad. Take care of yourself during this difficult time.

Even though I did not know Ken for very long, nor did I spend a great deal of time with him...upon my first encounter with Ken in 2011, I felt immediately he had a very charming, witty and inviting soul...i am deeply sorry for the family's loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Olafson family. To Ken and Pat, I will forever be grateful for your generosity and welcoming heart. Pat, you have a beautiful family to all those I have had the pleasure of meeting. Big hugs to Pat and Val!!!
