Not sure what to say?

Ruth....

I was very sorry to hear of Ken's illness and passing. Linda dropped me a note letting me know.

I hope that your life gets simpler now (being a caretaker is a hard job) and that you remain the tough survivor that you have always been!

Now, if you ever get to Minneapolis, Sally & I would love to see you.

Ruth and Family I am very sorry for your loss.

Dear Ruth and Family;
I was stunned and saddened to learn of Ken's passing. I hadn't seen you at any Mat-Su Miners games in a long time but had no idea of Ken's illness.
I met Ken when we were both working the "old" District 16 elections for the State in the early 1980s.
We shared a sense of humor and became friends - just didn't see each other very often. And now I regret we can't renew our visits and I will miss him.
My deepest sympathies are with you all. Please...

Dear Ruth and Family,
We feel honored to have met such a great man and we are thinking of all you during this time of sadness.

Dear Ruth,
All of us here at MatSu Regional Hospice want to thank you and Ken for allowing us to share a most special time with you. Ken was a very special person to many of us. He continued to teach to the end. His lessons in strength, independence, spirituality and acceptance were unique to him. Thank you Ruth, for allowing and helping him die as he lived, ..........his way.

Dear Ruth & Children, The love your family shares inspires all who have known you and Ken!
Our love and respect,
Barnel & Becky

Dear Ruth
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Please do not hesistate to call us for anything.
