All of our love and sympathy are sincerely extended from your long time friends at TEI. Yet we are assured this is also a time for celebration as Ken loved our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We know that Ken returned home to paradise for his rewards as an overcomer. God bless you and your family.

Louise and family; It is with great saddness that Ken is gone. I know the hole in your lives is deep and wide and will remain that way for a long time.
I can say from my own recent experience that time wil make things better, but can never erase all the long lonely hours and days ahead. Only our Lord can ease the pain you will feel. Rely on his Love and Strength.
But I also remember the happiest times of mine and Sidney's lives were during our fellowship with your family and others at RWBC. Thanks for those days.
