Ken, Tom & family,I can’t imagine the loss you are going trough, while we are mourning the loss of Kurt & now your Mom, others are rejoicing to meet them behind the veil. Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. All my Love & sympathy DaBee

To Ken and family,I remember your mother well. I remember when I was a little kid in the cub scouts at St. James, she was our den mother. I heard the news of your brother Kurt's passing too.Peace,Jared Kotz
