Doug, thanks for letting me know of your dads passing. Your dad was always so interested and engaged when we spoke, always interested in family and was so well read; he showed a heartfelt kindness that I will always remember him for, he took such pride in all of us. My best to all of you there in MS.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family and friends, for the lost of their beloved Ken. I hope the promise at John 6:39 can bring real comfort. Knowing that there is hope for our lost love ones can be reassuring.

Doug, I will always miss your Dad. It was a privilege to know him. I wish our families could have lived closer but it was not to be. I wish I could have had at least one more visit with him.
God bless you all.

We love you very much Daddy. We will see you soon save us a spot next to you in Heaven. Please watch over us and thank you so much for being my Daddy. I will remember all that you have said to me, I have started making a living amend to you. As you look down from Heaven you will see my walk with my God and will say "I knew she was going to do just fine."
