Dear Lesley & Tim
We were so sorry to hear of your loss. It is hard for us to imagine how difficult these days must be for you and your family. I have tried to put my feelings on paper for you, but they seem now to be more for Tim's mom, who must be feeling a loss and emptiness that I really can't imagine.
You will all be in our thoughts in these difficult and sorrow filled days.
----------------------------------
We, who have the most to lose, also have the most to keep.
We have followed our path in life, and, if we were lucky, we have had someone special to follow with us.
Early, the bright mornings, blue sky, and the heart full of hope—
How could we have known, then, that this star-crossed path could ever have an end.
Yet slowly, we learned, that dusk follows day, and that night follows dusk.
Paths come to an end, and parting, this sweet sorrow, will be the reward for
Our Heart’s long journey.
Sorrow, yes, and sweet, for we have filled each other’s coffers, stored up light against the dark, and warmth against the cold.
And our vows, that each would follow each on this terrestrial journey, as long as the body held the light,
Those vows we held, knowing that someday, that firm grasp would lose, and our hands must slip from one anothers.
This is the time to hold firm the other’s light that now must live in you. Now you hold that gift, that long record of life and love shared, and you must keep that gift alive, until the final embers of your love grow cold against the war of time. This is life, the double edge, and those who have had the joy to share in sunlight, and revel in the flight of youth, now must hold tight to the memories, which are now the testament to that common thread, that path, that struggle shared, which only you can be the keeper of.

It's never easy for those left behind but when you lose someone we all feel the pain. May it provide you comfort to know that many people share your sorrow and are here for you in your time of need. May the many GREAT memories of Kenneth provide you with strength during this difficult time. So try not to mourn the absence of Ken but celebrate how he positively influenced the many life's he came in contact with. Thoughts of you fill my mind and heart.

Steph & Kids,
I think you all know how much Uncle Kenny meant to us. He was there for me when my dad died by taking over a fatherly role that I so desperately needed. Through the years he has always been there for me. I can remember going to lunch with him often at Big Jims and how we would chat about things especially about you and the boys. It is hard for us, who are left behind, but we have to understand that he is in a better place and gets to see all those people who we love and had to say goodbye to in the past. I loved him dearly and will miss him terribly. Our sympathy is with all of you and whatever you need, we will be there for you.
Love,
