I would like to express my sympathy on the family’s loss.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. So sorry for your loss.
When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. I have treasured every moment that I have been able to spend with my brother. We have had so many good times and were planning on spending time together this coming week end. Ken had been looking forward to going with me to a 1950 era town in Rogersville this week. We had planned it for a year. We both love old cars and this was to be a dream come true for him. I love you brother and will always think of you when I see some old car or hear some of our favorite music.
Dear Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Kenny was a wonderful person and everyone liked him. I am sure you have lots of great memories to comfort you. May God Bless you with his wonderful grace.
