Today marks the anniversary of a day that I am sure no one in our family will ever forget. Another year has passed since we lost the head of our household - a beloved husband and father of three teens. As I thought of what I could possibly say to give remembrance, I found that I could not say it any better than I did the week that Ken left us here on earth to live eternally in the presence of our Lord. I decided to share some favorite family pictures and a re-post from the day that changed our lives forever.
Blessings, Lisa
Thank you, Lord, for introducing me to Ken. Because of him I have had the opportunity to live an amazing
life! He was my best friend of my youth. We attended
the same high school, got married, finished college together and
then lived in a variety of wonderful
places in IL, MO, MI, TX and WI.
Ken
was lead into the ministry which took us to the other side of the world
and back. He served churches in Almaty, Kazakstan; Townsend, WI;
Washburn, IL and LaRose, IL.
We were blessed with 25 years of marriage and three great
children. He imparted wisdom and truth unto them and through them, his legacy will definitely live on!
This
week we said "See you later" to a wonderful husband, father, pastor,
and friend. Words cannot express the impact that his knowledge and
wisdom has had on so many people all across the world.
He will be missed but never forgotten.
We
are comforted knowing that his faith was in his Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ. We are comforted knowing that he fought the good fight,
finished the race, and kept the faith. His body has been healed and he
lives eternally in God's presence.
"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
time to be born, and a time to die. . ."
Bless you and the Lord hold you.

He was a true child of mine and made me proud by living a fine Christian life. He died in faith and I know we will all be with him in Heaven if we follow his example. Our salvation is is in Christ who died for our sins.
