I will always remember how he smiled every time he saw me and I was always filled with love and comfort being around him and Georgia. He always lit up the room. I am so sorry for your loss of him, he is incredibly loved beyond words' expression.

I am so sorry for your loss. Ken was such a kind and beautiful soul. I will always remember sitting with him in the peaceful garden sanctuary he created. He was so loved by everyone and will be sorely missed. Much love to cousin Georgia and all of my extended family

To my Sweeney/Crosby family. My heart is breaking for you all with the passing of your husband, father, grandfather. Ken was a spiritual and gentle who had a beautiful garden that reflected his connection to the universe. He is now soaring with those that have passed before him by his side.
Love, Jackie Sweeney Campayno
