Pam and family, Ken has alwasy been there when I needed him most and now it is my turn to be there for you. My mother (Genna Craddock) also sends her
love to you and thanks for being at her bedside when needed. You know the church is and will be there for you now and always. Love to you.....Janene Whitby FUMCR member (Plano, Tx)

Pam & Family - The McGuire family was so sad to hear of this loss. We pray for comfort -- Ken is remembered so fondly by us all. I sent out a message through Facebook to several friends who were in UMYF in Denton when Ken was our youth pastor, and I received several messages back that I want to share with you. We love you. -- Susan McGuire Cooksey

Other messages follow:

A shock, and a deep sadness. -- Jim Riddlesperger, Fort Worth

My thoughts go out to his all friends and family. - Karen MacIntyre, Denton

And now, who will I look for at various church and family gatherings, to make those joking comments that always made me feel understood and cared about? -- Karen Watson, Santa Fe

I remember the concert that Credo Choir did in the Little Rock church where Ken's father pastored. It was the first concert on tour that took us to Lake Junaluska in North Carolina. Ken was so proud of Credo that night. He leaves a void in this world... blessings to his family. -- Lane Westbrook, Dallas

The Galloway family is also saddened to hear of Ken's passing. Ken and Pam hold a special place in my heart as Pam held my hand as I got stiches in my leg in Colorado during the 1970 Credo Tour to Colorado. Ken comforted me a few years ago during a memorial service for my neighbor -- the last time I saw him. And he and Pam took care of both Tish's and my daughter during Credo Reunion Concerts through the years. Our prayers are with the family. -- Diana Galloway O'Connor, Dallas

The entire Parks family is devastated. Ken meant a great deal to our family. My heart goes out to Pam and the girls. -- Paula Parks Harvey, Houston

Dear Pam, Kara and Cynthia,

Our thoughts and our prayers are with you at this time.
Ann and Bill Bray
