Ken fought a good fight! His perseverance to not let sickness stop him was admirable. Mildred your love and attention to Ken was also admirable, and we all are the witnesses. Dawna and Dana we have known you since birth, and we feel for your loss. Our sympathy goes to you all. Ruth and John

Im sorry to hear that Ken passed away, I remember the first time I met him for care. He was always so shy until he warmed up to us. He will be deeply missed from myself and the other girls here from Closing The Gap. I will miss the time we shared, as I will miss coming to chat with you too, and helping you with your groceries, into the cottage.
