Harrell family - Our loss was great and I grieve with you. Not only was Ken a good father to our children but a good friend as well. He was very proud of his children and loved them and his family very much. Knowing him for half my life makes it very hard to let go. I can only believe that this is not a goodbye but an intermission till everyone is with him again. All our love.
