Ken changed my life in so many ways. Taught me about Jesus and because of him my mother and I were saved and baptized he shared his family and gave me his best son who has been a wonderful husband and father. Ken made my mother very happy and she will have a very big space to fill because of his absence. Ken enjoy your time with Jesus and we will see you soon. Love you
