Dear Nancy and family,

What a shock to hear of Ken´s passing. You two have always been in some of my fondest memories. You made such a beautiful couple. Gordy and always loved your photos which I think were most often taken on your many cruises together. What a life you two have had. You have both been blessed.

With great sympathy and love,
Marie and Gordy Moore
