Memorial Day was rainy and I shed tears thinking of you and missing you always. I know now some pain you will have to bear until you cross over into eternity. I will continue to move forth with raising our kids in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. I will focus on the qualities you instilled into our family as my strength to forge through difficult times.

Chance asked me the other day what we would be doing if you were here on Memorial Day. I told him celebrating because your Dad loved parties and holidays. Chance is now taller than me. He misses you so much. Some days are good and some days are horrible. I know now that some things in life you will never ever get over. We must pray to get through them and take it second, minute, hour, and day by day. That is what I will do until I am back with you

Missing you for eternity

TODAY IS YOUR BIRTH DATE I THOUGHT OF YOU AS MANY WILL .I NEVER SPENT A BIRTHDAY WITH YOU ,I WONDER IF YOU HAVE THEM IN HEAVEN.

Ken,

I continue to have a dream, that I am telling you about this awful nightmare that I had that you died and left Chance and I. I tell you how real this dream seemed to me. I find myself crying as I tell it to you because of how the simply thought of knowing that the dream could be really true shatters me. Then I wake up and I find that the dream is really true and I want to sleep again so I can see, talk, and feel you. Then I cry and I cry. Because more than anything I want to wake up and know that these minutes, hours, days, weeks, and now months have all been a terrible lie. Just the worst lie. Because if I didn't want to leave Chance alone, I know I would surely fall over and die. Because I am not living I am only existing. I am not breathing I am gasping. People talk to me but I'm not listening. Everyone wants to tell me about their Mom, Dad, sister, cousin, friend, or someone else who has had someone to die. I pray not to only think of my loss. But until death enters into your door and walks into your house, it is so different. I always said I wanted to go quick and you said you didn't. You went so quick and I am left here with this long suffering. Jesus knows I pray hard and long. There is nothing I can do but somehow ask Him to bring me through. Where can I go, what can I do, take, buy, to stop this wrenching pain. There is nothing but the hand of God and time. Everyone says Ken was a good man and a good father. The word was, past tense. I can't still believe I must refer to my husband, my soul mate in the past tense. Our son is 12, he is lost. I feel like the blind leading the blind. As a former juvenile counselor I hear my words but they are only words, band aids, for a gash or bullet wound to the heart. It is 4:30 a.m. and I must try to take a nap before I must get up at 6:15 to get Chance moving for school. Chance and I went to visit your Mom the other day and took her some chocolates and a plant. I pray for her because I don't ever want to feel a Mother's loss because I am trying to survive a wife's loss. But she has loss her spouse and now 3 of her kids. She loved you so. She spoke of you so fondly that I had to hold back the tears. Your cell phone is still on because I can't ever turn it off. Your old pal Bo called last week and I told him and I think he fell over. I think I now have an idea why spouses who are left behind after a spouse die soon die as well. Because it is like walking through quicksand trying to breathe in and out, in and out, in and out. I am scared I may fall over at any second. I pray for Jesus to carry me for Chance's sake. He doesn't deserve to be an orphan. We don't deserve to be without you. Irron said that he knows we should not ask why but we do, and Jesus knows in my heart that I am asking, wondering, praying, begging, Lord just why? Why this pain for my child, me, and so many others who loved and adored you. I know we are all His but .... If my tears were a flood I think I would drown the earth. It's been 5 months and 2 days, when Chance is out of school if the Lord grants us to see it we must take a trip, a retreat. All of me is tired, so tired. I know your spirit is still here with us, so I ask not that he doesn't already know that on behalf of Chance and I that a piece of this pain is lifted off of our heart today. It's 4:45 a.m. Chance is going a trip this is the first time that he has been away from me since everything occured. I don't want to smother him, though I could easily. I pray he will have fun in the snow and return safely. Lord grant these petitions that I write, that I can't write, that you know in the chambers of my heart.

I thank you. I must thank you. I must say thank you for in all things you are good. I know this and I must cling to that for without that I don't know what I thought I or think I know.

The Owens friends and family:
We all know that Ken is gone home through those pearly gates because a person so kind, giving, and generous deserves nothing more but to wear his crown. Ken lived a wonderful life and in his life he served a purpose. Let's all continue to live life as Ken would and we all will meet him one day. Tasha and Chance in this time of grief we are here for you with warm hearts and praying souls. May god continue to bless and comfort you. The Bronner/Horne famlily

A walk along the beach

Ken,
I prayed for God to bring my husband to my door
And then you came
And I was blessed with a man who was so much more

You said you loved me from our first glance
And a few years later
God blessed us with our son Chance

For Christ sake
I wish I could awake

From what seems
To be the most horrible dream

Only Jesus can give me any relief
For I am still in total disbelief

I can’t and I won’t even try
To say farewell or goodbye

I’ll simply think of your warm smile
And I know it will only be a little while

When you will stretch your hand out for me to reach
And we shall embrace and take a walk along the beach

Loving you past forever

Your wife
Natasha

Ken was my first youth director at Foster Drive Baptist Church. He was instrumental is helping me, a fatherless young man, spend summers at his lake house with other christians, not on the streets running around. He helped during a boy's most challenging years, 15-19. He helped shape my life of christian fellowship. Thank you!!
