My dear Stofens-
I will always remember Ken's smile! He was a great man, a great father and a great friend-
we will all surely miss his sense of humor and his enthusiasm for so many people and topics. We count ourselves lucky to have known him. You're all in our prayers-

Hi Deb & Jesse,
We were so sad to hear about your dad, Deb. It sounds like he had a really wonderful life with you and your family. I hope he's already found a Hearts club up there in Heaven.

Your whole family is in my thoughts and prayers. You both hold a very special place in my heard and I wish I could be with you.
I am so glad that I got to spend time with your parents and to get to know your dad. He was a person who lived life with enthusiasm and joy. We should all be so lucky.
Take care of yourselves.
