I was so very sorry to hear of Ken's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you Linda and all your family. Ken was always so pleasant and friendly to me when we all worked at Kroger together. God has gained another Angel. Fly high Ken. I know you're dancing in the sky with all your family and friends that met you at the Golden Gate. God bless you all.
So sorry to hear about Ken!! We are thinking about you all!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Linda, Kent, Darren and Jeff we are so sad to hear of uncle Ken’s passing! As a kid I always had fun when we were together. He will be greatly missed by all but now that he is no longer in pain. Our thoughts and prayers are for you. I know Grandma and grandpa Lawrence have welcomed him home as well as his brothers.
Dear Linda & Family,
I will never forget either of you! Our times at Kroger and the whole crew. You are both very special to me and our family. May you be comforted in your sorrow, but JOY comes at some point. I was glad to have seen you both in Farmington, recently. God Bless & Keep you!
