Nancy I want to offer my deepest condolences and apologize for being so late with this message. Don't know if you remember me or not, just think of the Oktoberfest at the Armory in Baltimore that may help. I was planning on attending Ken's funeral but unfortunately since I had a heart attack on Jan 27th I couldn't make it. I was so sorry we hadn't seen each other in so many years. Prayers for you and your family.

Dear Nancy, Doug, Brad and family - SO VERY SORRY to hear about Ken. We were shocked. Ken was so kind to us on Emerald Drive. He used to come and kill our mice, shovel our snow and babysit the house when Mom was away. You were all great neighbor's. Ken will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. God bless. Love, Holly and Dan in OC.
