Rowena, Tash, Mickey, Jared and Ralph,
Our sincere condolences - Words can't summarise who Ken was and the awesome life God chose for him to lead. I will remember his friendly nature and the lame jokes and puns he always had up his sleeve. I know that his leadership in his faith, his love for his family and his legacy will continue to live through the lives that he blessed in his years on Earth. We love you and pray for Gods peace knowing that he is in glory with our Saviour.
