To the Kensil Family:
I was just thinking about your dad and how nice he was while doing plumbing work in our house. I just googled his name and saw he passed, sorry I did not know sooner. I am sorry for your loss, and may your memories help you over time. I also want to say how much we appreciated seeing him at my mothers funeral. I did not get a chance to talk to him afterward, but seeing him again after so many years was a wonderful surprise. You are all in my thoughts and prayers
