So sorry for your loss may you find peace and comfort in the words spoken at 2 Corinthians 1:3 & 4" Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we get from God.

Sheila, Bob and I wanted to let you know how very sorry we are for your loss. It is never easy to lose a loved one, but I hope you are at peace in knowing that he is no longer suffering. I pray that God's peace will be with you and your family during this time. Blessings!

I want express deepest of sympathy to Kenneths family. Kenneth was my Dad's roommate at the Maples. We so appreciated his kindness to my Dad My dad can bearly hear anything so Kenneth would feel me in on what I was trying to ask my dad. He would tell the nurses what my dad needed. He was really a great care taker. So kind. Always thinking me for coming to see them. He shared his shrimp when at lunch Daddy would think 4 wasn't enough!! Kenneth gave him part of his. I sure you all have great memories of your dad and that you can be so thankful I will always be glad that I had this small amount of time to get to know this kind man
