"My heart is heavy and sorrow is draining from my eyes. Kenneth was an awsome man, father, grandfather and friend. He will be missed by all! Words cannot express the need I had to be "home" with my sister Peggy and her family in this time of grief! It was just not meant to be. My thoughts and prayers are with you all! As for Kenneth, I am sure that he and Daniel have an endless supply of poker chips and blue rock! In Loving Memory Judy"
