Linda and Family, my deepest sympathy for the loss of Ken. I truly thought a lot of him because he was so kind and fun to be around. He had the best personality. Although he will be so terribly missed, it is a comfort to know that he will no longer be suffering. My love and prayers to Ken and to you Linda. God Bless Tina
