Ken was so knowledgeable about caring for the lawn, and about gardening in general, and he so enjoyed working in his yard. He was my go-to person when I had a question about the lawn or gardening, and typically he would offer a helpful solution. Ken was very easy to talk with, and Jay and I so enjoyed having him as a neighbor. We will truly miss him.
Ken was such a wonderful neighbor and friend. He always helped me with the yard and was such a good friend to my dad Doyle. He will be missed.
Patt, I am so very sorry. You and your family are much in my thoughts. Prayers for faith, peace, and strength of spirit for all of you.
Pat, I am truly sorry for your loss. I will always remember the fun I had growing up with my friends on the street and saying hello to Ken while he was working on his lawn. He showed us fun tricks with the basketball, made us laugh and always cared about how we were doing as we grew up. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Ken will truly be missed by so many.
Dear Pat,
You and your family are in our prayers and thoughts.
Love
Darla
