Dona: I am so very sorry about Ken. You were two of my favorite ACH nurses. What a loss for your family, community as well as the medical community. I would like to share my favorite prayer with you:
Dear Lord, I need your peace today.
I have crooked places that need to be made straight and rough places that need to be smoothed.
I'm facing mountains I can't climb and valleys I can't cross. I need help.
I release into your hands all the worries, anxieties and struggles in life.
God bless you and your family now and forever.
With love and respect,
Mary

Dear Ken, and the family of Kenny, I only recently learned of Kenny's death, and having lost my husband Morgan 6 years ago in a plane crash here at the farm/airport, I can only say as I said about my husband, "He died doing what he loved.":

I didn't know Kenny, but I know you are grieving for him Ken, and the family must still be in shock. My adopted son David Howlett did know Kenny, as Kenny would come to the Boy Scout Camp at Damascus every year where David worked, and David had such respect for him.

God bless you in your time of grief, though now it may not seem like it will ever be better, God will dry your tears through his love and you will see Kenny again!
