Dear Rosalie and Family;
I am saddened at Ken's passing, but relieved that he is now in God's hands.
He has been such a special person to all whom he met. I feel enriched that I had the privilege to visit and bring him Eucharist almost every week for the past years. God rest hes soul. I will continue to pray for him and you.
Blessings, Judy
