I am so sorry I can’t be there. Ken was such a wonderful man. I know he has had a lot of problems, but is now in the arms of Jesus. He will be missed
It has been said that the best dads get promoted to grandpas. Grandfathers are good listeners, good storytellers, and most importantly, good friends. They are always there to laugh and play with their grandchildren and even console them when necessary. Grandfathers are also often the source of sage advice, a benefit of their many years of experience. One thing is for sure, the love of a grandfather is a unique treasure that is never forgotten by their grandchildren. The times spent with a grandfather turn into precious memories that are conserved in the heart, even long after they have passed. Kenneth was our dear friend but he was your Father,Grandfather a truly devoted Christian . So sorry for your loss Bob & Mary Helen Riley
