I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you them but know if you need me I'm just a call away. May God give you the strength,Courage and faith to get you through the hard times ahead.

What shocking news! We just returned from a vacation on Cape Cod and learned of your sad news. We have such fond memories of Ken and remember well the fun times and laughter. Our sincerest thoughts and prayers are with you and your children. We are so thankful to have known Ken and will cherish our memories. His llama sculpture will be a constant reminder of our friendship. We send our love and big hugs.

Dear Ramona and family,
I was so saddened by Ken's passing. I will never forget Ken bringing me that sweet little kitten back in 1993 when I worked with you both at Lakefront Realty...and then Ken got me another kitten later in that same year. Those two cats were part of our family for 16 years, Ken's generous nature brought joy to our family. I remember his laugh and sense of humor. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. May god's love...

Dear Ramona,
I just wanted you to know that I am thinking or you. I know this is a very sad time, but hopefully knowing that "old friends" are praying for you and that you are in our hearts will help. Love
