Isabel, my family and I considered you and Ken family. You were our children’s grandparents. That is how they always spoke of you to people in their lives. Ken will be greatly missed, and you will always be in our thoughts and prayers. Love you both. 💕
I spent my early childhood with Ken and Isabelle as my next door neighbors and they quickly became family. My siblings and I did not have any living grandparents (by blood) for most of our childhood. However, when Ken and Isabelle came into our lives they became much like grandparents to us. Ken will be missed greatly and remembered for the generous, attentive, loving, hard working man he was. I wish I would have seen him more as I got older but I am so grateful for all of the time I was able to spend with him. I am sending so much love, prayers and warmth to Isabelle and the rest of Ken’s family during this time.
