Kenneth L. WIKRE

LuVerne, one year ago today God called you home and broke my heart. Thirteen days later he called your beautiful Ruthie to join you in heaven and my world crashed around me. Then in June God once again showed his great goodness as he blessed our family with precious baby Jason Burkhardt, son of Matt and Missy and my first Great Grandson. What light he has brought into our world. I love you so much big brother and miss you more than words can say.
Rest in peace until I see you...

As I begin this new year without you, my precious brother, I am sad for myself, but have to be happy that you are free from pain and once again with your wonderful Ruthie. Loosing both of you within 2 weeks time was heartbreaking. I love you more than you can know and I feel the same love for Ruthie. One day we will be reunited in heaven and then you can get back to teasing me, which you loved to do. I.A.H.Y.I.M.H.U.W.A.R.
Love, your little sister Mary.

It is coming up on a year since you were called home. As with most the pain is still fresh in our hearts, you and Ruthie are extremely missed. It was comforting to know that you got to spend Grandma's birthday with her. You were her baby boy & perhaps worried about you more then most. Her love for you was strong as it was for all her loving children. We start a New Year without you but carrying all the love we have for you in our hearts. God Bless
you & Ruthie. Until we see you again, all...

Thanks to the doctors and nurses at St. Josephs hospital who worked so hard to save my precious brother Ken, it was not meant to be, but I take comfort in the fact that Ken is now free from pain and resting in Gods loving arms. Reunited with his parents Melvin and Julia and great nephew Johnny and best friends Mel, Del and Ray. Ken was surrounded by a roomful of loving relatives when God called him home after him being in pain for many weeks. Thanks to his angel Ruthie who was his great...

Prayers to you and your family Ken. Thinking peaceful thoughts to you all.
