First let me say, that my heart goes out to your family for your loss. Ken is with the angels now, and feeling no pain, and knowing only love. It is absolutely beautiful that Ken had 91 years on this planet, many of which were spent happily dating my amazing Mommom (Grandmother), Ruby. She loved him so much and he made her happy, and for that we were grateful, as they both were delightful people and deserved love and happiness.
They were such a cute couple! It always made me so happy to see them together. They were always going here and there and doing fun stuff together, and truly embracing the love they shared for each other, and a delightful spirit of adventure, and you could just tell that they always had fun together.
The last time I saw Ken, it was for somebody's birthday, and we all had lunch together at Mom's shop in Blountville. As always, we had a relaxed and joyful family luncheon together, and we definitely will always consider him family! He was always such a gentle and good-natured soul, with a kind word about everyone and everything, and an interesting story to tell every time I saw him.
I will always be extremely grateful that he and Mommom were boyfriend and girlfriend. It makes me smile just to think about them "going together".
A few months ago, I found two letters that she had written him. One was sealed, and I have no idea what it said, as I passed it along to him via my mom, so that he could read whatever she had in her heart to say to him, that she sealed with a kiss, but never had gotten around to giving him when she was alive. The other letter was very touching. it talked about something that she had heard in church when they were there and how she was moved by spirit by the experience and how grateful that she was to be able to share it with him, although she seemed a little shy about broaching the subject, and wanted to know how he felt about the whole thing and if he was as moved by it as she was. I was moved by Spirit just reading the letter, so I'm sure that he felt the same way that she did and they both enjoyed the Beautiful light of the Divine flowing through them together, in that moment and always.
I am moved by Spirit again now just thinking about it, so with a tear in my eye, and so much love in my heart, I humbly ask the archangels to watch over his family and friends and help them move gracefully through their adjustment period, following his heavenly Ascension. May we all keep his memory alive and allow his love to shine through us, and his Spirit of adventure to move us towards many fun experiences, shared with the people we love.
Love & Light
