Dear Thomas family,
I will miss Uncle Ken dearly. There are too many good memories of him to name them all. He always made everyone feel so special and he always had a smile on his face. May you find peace at this time and know that you are loved.

Dear family,
How thankful I am to have gotten to know "Uncle Ken". My kids nick-named him "Uncle Ken-bo" after learning how to play Skipbo from him... We will not be sad in his passing, but will rejoice that we ever knew him! We will forever treasure our memories of his visits to our home with my mom! Thanks for sharing him!!
All our love,
The Bailey's

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Thomas family. We loved Ken and Deleen's visits to our family in Phoenix. The both were great examples of Christ-like love that we should all aspire to. I'm certain that there has been a great reunion in the Spirit world.
