Ken...You will forever remain in our hearts and minds, never to be forgotten. We know you are up there in the heavens with your mom and all the other angels helping God "Pour out the rain." You will never again have pain nor suffering and know one else will ever hurt you again, and like Debbie, the Hospice nurse said, you'll be able to shag forever. We cried endless tears those last days with you...we felt so helpless other than to give you comfort, support and hope. You will be missed so very much by your family, friends, fellow workers at US Airways and the Stack Shack gang. We had lots of support that week ourselves from your friends, neighbors and those wonderful Hospice nurses and for that we are so grateful. We are so thankful that your little sister, Linda was there with us. She was such a trooper. Your brother Bill was so saddened that he was not able to be there to help but he knew you would understand that he wasn't feeling well at all. We know you didn't want to leave your family and friends but we all know you're smiling down on us and waiting our arrival there.

We love you! Larry & Dreama

PS If your brother Bill had internet access I know that he and Wanda would sign this guest book as well.

I will miss you so very much and all the little chats we had. It meant so much just to have you talk to me as a friend. I am glad you wanted me there to take care of you. I will always look up to you,for you succeeded in everything you ever went to do. You had everything that most people were envious of. I will always treasure the time we had together. I would also like to thank all the friends that stood by him at the end. You know who you are..May God Bless You All. Love, Linda (Stacks sister)

"To My Best And Dearest Friend"

Oh, Stack....you've left and gone to join the Lord! What a wonderful place to be. You will no longer have pain and misery. You will only know peace and joy. "The Stack Shack" will miss you so much. We had fun times at the beach during SOS and fun times in Charlotte with Christmas parties and birthday parties. You were the greatest friend. I will miss "checking up" on you. Now, our Lord gets to do it. Please know that when it is our time to go we will find you. It was such a blessing to have met you and gotten to know you. Take care my friend, and know that you are missed and loved.

Stack,

I love you and will miss you very much. It gives me comfort to know that you are not in pain anymore but are waiting on the other side smiling again. Even though the days ahead will be very difficult and things for all of us left here will never be the same, I know we will see you again some day. Our "Stack Shack" will be missing one, but I will always have my memories and I will keep you in my heart forever.

To Dreama, Larry, Linda, Gary, Bill and Wanda:

You have been such a wonderful, loving family for Stack, giving unconditional love especially when times were at their worst. Dreama, Larry and Lindy, you were there 24/7 for so many days and gave Stack hope and comfort when he needed it most, God Bless You for this. You all provided Stack with a support system that I don't think he would have survived as long as he did without it. He loved you all so much and now I see why. I am both honored and lucky to have come to know you all, my life is more enriched in doing so. I love each and every one of you, and I'm thankful for getting to know you. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless You and Keep You!

"Kimmie"
