Memories and Condolences
for Kenneth LeBlanc
March 13, 2010
Father LeBlanc said my husband's burial mass at Our Lady's on a very
snow-stormy day in Dec. '92. Many times he got out to help the funeral
personnel push the hearse car through
the snow. He also made everyone feel at ease at Fred's wake. God bless
Father LeBlanc.

Our deepest sympathies on the passing of Ken. My husband was a classmate at Loras College in Dubuque, IA, and I was in the Clarke-Loras Singers with Fr. Ken and traveled thru Europe with him. He was a very special man and valued his faith deeply. We will miss his presence at our class reunions. John and LInda Mertz, West Bend, IA

It is with deepest sympathy that we hear of Fr. Ken's passing. We did many Youth Group programs with him when he was at St. Michael's and we were serving at St. Ann's in Marlborough. He was a good and faithful servant of the Lord. May God hold him in the palm of His hand. +Deacon Dick and Pearl Martino

We offer our deepest sympathy. When tragedy strikes and takes the life of our loved ones, many cry out with great sorrow. Your tears are not unnoticed by the Creator of Life. Never was it his purpose for our human lives to be taken away. Although your deep pain will not easily disappear, prayer to God will bring comfort to you as you grieve. The Bible assures us God "is healing the broken hearted ones, and is binding up their painful spot." Psalm 147:3.

Dear LeBlanc Family, I can not be there with you all, although my family from Gloucester will be. Please know how much my heart aches for all of you! Ken has remained a Dear friend all these years. I have so many wonderful memories of all of you at your family home in Natick. And MANY memories of time at my parents home in Gloucester. He loved to visit and my parents always tried to have his favorite "Lobster" sandwich for him. He was always there as a friend and spiritual advisor to myself and family. I have lots of special memeories at our family gatherings, weddings & baptisims. He was wonderful and only as Ken could be(because he knew us all so well) and lead a very touching, beautiful and personal funeral mass for my mom Betty. Most recently, even though he had been ill, he, with another family friend, made a 3 hour trip north in a snow storm to be with my family and I when we lost my son Matthew to a horrible accident. I tried to reach him many times since that accident (3/2/08) but now I realize why he couldn't respond. He was a special man and person. I will miss him as many will. Please accept my condolences. I know he, my mom Betty, Marie, your parents, my brother-in-law Brian and Matthew are all together in Heaven. Love to you all. Sincerely, Angela(D'Amico) Budrow and Anna

Fr. Ken will always hold a special place in my heart. No act of generosity was too great or small. I looked forward to him marrying me one day, and Christening my children, but now I know his blessings are with us all still. He was nothing short of the most sincere and gentle man I've ever met.

Kenny, we were cousins together and played over Memeres house. Together with Charlie Donna, and Jane we had a lot of fun. Those are memories that will never go away. Now you and Aunt Alice will travel the new road together.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

We here at St. Peter's were blessed and fortunate to have Father Ken as our Pastor. He was a kind and caring man and enjoyed being with people, whether coming to dinner or playing his guitar for us at the Parish Picnic. We have missed him and prayed for him during his illness. We will continue to keep him in our prayers and thoughts.

Father was my dearest friend. He has been my mentor and my voice of reason since I was in junior high at St. Michael's in Hudson. He married my husband and me in 1993 and is the Godfather to one of my children. He has always been there for me. He was a great, great man, and I miss him terribly. My prayers continue to be with his dearest sisters, Lisa and Jeannine, who have loved him as only sisters could!

Dear LeBlanc family,
I just wanted to let you know that your pain is felt by many. Having had many dealings with father Ken I can honestly say that he will be missed. May you find strength in knowing that he is going home to his heavenly father and that his work here was done.

Our deepest sympathy to the family. We loved Fr. Ken and had been on several pilgrimages with him, had him to our home for dinner. We spent quite a bit of time with him in Italy and Portugal and enjoyed his company immensely. He was a very holy man and he has suffered terribly with his cancer. God Bless him.
