Dear Nancy and Ken Jr., what can anyone say except you kids are so lucky to have such cool parents.
In life, a great example of unconditional love and devotion to each other for all those years. And now in death as Mom joins Dad, as it should be, only two weeks later. Lennie pormised me, many years ago, that if Ken left us first she would be right behind him, because she could not bear the thought of living without him.
she has kept her promise. I am very happy I was able to stop in last Tuesday and say goodbye to my friend, neighbor, distant in-law, and the sweetest little old lady I have ever known. Thank you God, for Ken and Lennie. I'm glad they are guests in your house now, and together once again, forever.
Bob

I was so sorry to hear Mr. T passed away. I have fond memories of my time at Tannehill, and will always remember him calling me Trixie when he introduced me at the front desk for the first time!
I'm very sorry for your loss Nancy. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Gary, the kids and the old KL Tannehill crew.

Dear Kenny, Nancy, and Lennie,
I am so very sorry to learn of your loss. I have so many wonderful memories of your family. I remember the first time I came to your home and you had the miniature doberman in the kitchen. I love dogs and she scared me...lol!! Plus, all the fun times at the farm, remember the bunnies, Bonnie & Clyde??? Even though we are not there with you physically, we deeply love you all. I know he is watching down on us and chuckling. Love, Linda and Tiffany Morton

Dear Ken and Family, I have no words to describe the feelings that developed between Ken SR. and I over the years. He and My Dad were born he same year. I lost my Dad many years ago, way too soon. All I wanted to say is, Thanks, for allowing me to borrow your understanding, caring, and lovable Father from time to time. I cherish the many lunches at Fongs, Holiday GM, and especially [Nokomis Grill], I never have seen a guy cover food with so much salt in y life, except my Dad. We always took turns paying the bill, and he never let me forget who's turn it was, Plus the many times at the farm with both of them, and long winded phone calls in the middle of the night. He made a void in my life bearable, and filled that void in ways only a Dad can do. I will miss his wisdom, fairness and most of all his company. My Dad and He were very much alike. I am pleased his frustrations of the last couple of years are finally over, and he can enjoy his just reward. You have been a great Son to Them both, and Ken Sr. mentioned it many times with great pride. His words would have been, (You’ve done well). Please call if you need anything. I will always be there for you, keeping a watchful eye over my neighbors property for as long as you wish. Sincerely, Bob

To My Favorite Grandpa!
I'm going to miss you more then you know, although it's comforting to know you are in heaven with your quirky sense of humor back - probably running around in your brown trousers (dress pants underneath of course), white t-shirt and farm boots. I have So Many memories of you that I miss! I always enjoyed being around you. Having the farm house right down the street gave us a chance to spend more time together and become closer. I loved getting up early for Grandma’s Swedish Pancakes in the morning, and then spending the rest of the day bailing hay or scooping manure or crashing the golf carts (Sorry bout that, I am a lot better driver now, I promise). Not to mention, all the time I got to spend with you at Tannehill, although I do have to agree with Mom and Billy, you probably could have dined somewhere other then Fongs! But I guess it’s like they say, “If it aint broke, don’t fix it”! We are all happy your pain free now and watching over all of the people you loved, you are our special Guardian Angel! Take care of Baby James! And watch over Grandma, I’m sure she misses you and is waiting to be by your side again. I can picture you two sitting in your lawn chairs again, at the edge of the garage of the farm house watching the sun set, O'douls in hand! I miss you Grandpa!! Love Jen~

Ken and Nancy:
I am thinking about you and your families during this time of loss. Take the wisdom given to you from him and pass it on. Keep the memories alive!
It is amazing that your mom and dad had such a long life of love together! I know you will take good care of Lennie.
(I still remember your dad's distinct voice.)
Take care!

Dear Ken and family, Our thoughts and prayers go out to you. I always enjoyed going with you Ken to visit your dad. He had a way of making me feel like he had always known me. He was such a kind person. You were blessed to have your father with you for so many years. Sincerely, Greg

His charming ways and smiling face;
Are a pleasure to recall;
He had a kindly word for each;
And died beloved by all.
He suffered patiently and long;
His hope was bright,
his faith was strong,
The peace of Jesus filled his breast;
And in His arms he sank to rest.
All his toils and conflicts o'er.
Lo, he dwells with Christ above;
Oh, what glories he's discovered;
In the Saviour whom he loved.
You're not forgotten father, dear;
Nor ever shall you be;
As long as life and memory last;
I shall remember thee.
His weary hours and days of pain;
His troubled nights are past;
And in our aching hearts we know;
He has found sweet peace at last.
Gone is the face we loved so dear;
Silent is the voice we loved to hear;
Too far away for sight or speech;
But not too far for thought to reach;
Sweet to remember him who once was here;
And who though absent, is just as dear.
His smiling way and pleasant face;
Are a pleasure to recall;
He had a kindly word for each;
And died beloved by all.
Some day we hope to meet him;
To clasp his hand in a better land;
Someday we know not when;
Never to part again.
Our family circle has been broken;
A link gone from our chain;
But though we're parted for awhile;
We know we'll meet again.
We shall meet with many a loved one;
That was torn from our embrace;
We shall listen to their voices;
And behold them face to face.
Sunshine passes, shadows fall;
Love's remembrance outlasts all

"Do not stand there at my grave and weep;
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand there at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die."
Our prayers are with all of you.

Dear Grandpa Tannehill, I remember the day we met. You and Grandma where so warm and accepting from the get-go. I enjoyed seeing you both at family get togethers and hearing "Where's my squeeze?" You were a big gentle teddy bear and Grandma was such a sweet lady. I regret letting so much time pass before I finally visited again. I only wish Samantha and Christopher would have known you better. I love you. Monica.

Grandpa. I will forever miss you, and always remember you . You were not only my grandfather but one of my best friends in life. I learned a lot from you, some things I can repeat and some I can't.I will always cherish the weekend breakfast's growing up at the farm in P L and all of the time that we spent together. I am greatful that I was able to work for you as it gave me more time to see you. I will also always remember the many times we went to Fongs for lunch. I love you very much

Dad, I Will forever miss you. You were always there for me when I needed you the most. You always carried me through the hard times. You were a wonderful dad, and grandfather. I loved working with you
for all those years. I have to say though, we could have maybe found some other places to eat lunch once in a while, although I do appreciate you for taking me to lunch almost every day at David Fongs.
Don't worry abou mom, Kenny and I will take good care of her until the two of you can be together again. God Bless you dad. I love you soooo much.
Your favorite daughter---Nancy
