    My heart is heavy and sorrow is draining from my eyes. Kenneth was an awsome man, father, grandfather and friend. He will be missed by all! Words cannot express the need I had to be "home" with my sister Peggy and her family in this time of grief! It was just not meant to be. My thoughts and prayers are with you all! As for Kenneth, I am sure that he and Daniel have an endless supply of poker chips and blue rock! In Loving Memory Judy

    My deepest sympathy to your family. I pray that the Lord will bless each of you with happy wonderful memories and keep Kenneth in you heart forever.
  16. Pastor Bruce L. Schut
    As pastor at St. Peter's Lutheran Church, I want you to know that we place your family in our prayers at this time of loss and sadness resulting from Kenneth's death. In just over two weeks we will be taking special occasion to again reflect on the death of our Lord Jesus Christ and His glorious resurrection. In the midst of earthly sorrow we have this greatest truth that God willingly sends His Son Jesus to go through death, taking our sin upon Himself, and then raises Him again to assure us that when we trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior of all we too will enjoy a resurrection of body to live in our Lord's presence forever. I pray you will all be comforted by this awesome grace and love that our God revealed for Kenneth and for us all in the person of His Son. "But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep....Death has been swallowed up in victory...Thanks be to God! He gives us the victory thorugh our Lord Jesus Christ." (I Corinthians 15:20, 54, 57)
