Thinking and praying for you. Ken will certainly be missed. There’s probably not a room in my house that didn’t receive some of his wonderful handiwork.

My dearest Melinda, our deepest condolences for the loss of your dear loved one. During this most difficult time, may your heart be comforted by Jehovah God’s promise to wipe out every tear from our eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. (Rev. 21.4) Also, during the days to come, may Ken’s sweet memories fill your heart with joy and peace. When it came to his work, he took pride in all he did. We will always hold him close to our hearts.
Jack and Annie Thomas,
Snellville, Ga.
