Dear Ginny,
I am praying for you and your family. I can't even imagine how difficult it would be to lose someone you have been with for over 60 years. One good thing about that is all the great memories you must have of your time together. I really liked Ken and enjoyed the time I spent getting to know him. The amazing thing is in this time, you two were together for over 60 years. I know there had to be some very difficult times, as well as rewarding ones, but no matter what, you made it through together. I believe it was your strong love for each other and for God that kept you going.
I am so thankful both you and Ken had such a strong faith in the Lord. I believe that faith will help you through this very difficult time.

Virginia and Family,

Bill and I send our deepest love to all of you. Ken was one to make us: laugh at his jokes, sing in our hearts when he sang, and see God working through him to bless others.

You and Ken, were a couple who we knew loved God, would give wise counsel, and appreciate the beauty found in nature as well as in others.

We will never forget the love and kindness shown to us by the both of while we worshipped together at Wyoming church.

Oh how we long for that day when Jesus will sound the trumpet and all the dead in Christ will rise first! May we all be there to greet our loved ones as we travel to heaven together!

Our love and prayers are with you and your family.

Love,

Bill & Cheryl

Dear Ginny and Family,

So very sorry to hear of Ken's passing. I remember the great times we had camping, boating and canoeing a long time ago, it seems. He was a great nature lover and a friend of the past.

We are praying for your comfort and wishes for wonderful memories like I had to hang onto. Till we meet again Ken, rest in peace.

Sincerely, The Cornells

Dear Virginia and family, we are so sad to hear of the passing of Ken. He was a wonderful inspiration to us at The Wyoming Church in his music and our social commitee activities...camping. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.

Oh Virginia. I can empathize with you! (14 years for me.) I am so sorry. Ken was a gifted singer and always was happy and cheerful, as were you also. I pray that God's love will sustain you and your family at this sad time.

Virginia and Family we are so sorry to hear of Ken's passing. We are so thankful for Gods grace.
For I know that nothing can keep us from the love of God..Death cannot! Life cannot! Angels cannot! Leaders cannot! Any other power cannot! Hard things now or in the future cannot! Any other living thing cannot keep us away from the love of God which is our through Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38-39

We pray the Lord will grant you an extra measure of comfort.

Ginny & family, I am saddened to hear of Ken's passing. His voice will always be ledgendary for me whenever I hear The Messiah at Christmas time.
Also his skill & kindness to the Pathfinders when my girls were there in the 1980s, will be remembered with kindness.
Please rest in The Blessed Hope that Ken lived out so well in his own life.
