In Loving Memory

I have fond memories of working with Ken at the greenhouse in
Zelienople. He was a great man with a great sense of humor. To the
Brown family, I'm sorry for your loss. May God bless all of you in this
trying time.

Having heard of your father's recent death I want to send you my deepest sympathy. I have only known Ken and his
caring wife a few short months after their move here to Shill Manor. Arlene brought Ken to a few activities so we got
to share brief times with him. Arlene has been a joy and we were all influenced in some way by her devoted care
to Ken. May Our Lord bless you and comfort you during this time and the days ahead. Erma Winters Shill Manor

Sorry to hear of Sonny's passing. I have fond memories visiting as a child with my Mom and Dad. God Bless.
