So so sorry for your loss. Noone knows why our loved ones are taken so early in their lives. We have to celebrate the time that they shared with their loved ones, and hold that deeply in our hearts.
The words that cannot be found streaming down our faces.

While the loss of a loved one is never easy, even when anticipated, it is most certainly the hardest when they are taken from us too soon. Your recent loss of your beloved Ken whose death at such a youthful age is definitely in the category of those hard losses.
We ask for God's blessings on your family. May you find the courage and strength to move forward in peace and confidence by remembering you do not walk alone.
In deepest sympathy.

Life works in mysterious ways. We never know from day to day what we will endure. Kenny's life was taken at such a young age and there will always be that question (Why). Try to fill your hearts with the memories that you all shared and hang on to them. As memories occur you will find that tears turn into smiles and occasional laughter. It is easy to say but I promise you the heavy heart you carry right now will lift again. Thoughts and prayers to you all during these tough times. Lots of Love Always Jami, Shaun, Ashley, Brittany and Family
