This is my Blog...So be prepared to listen to all my pet peeves, likes and dislikes, and any other little annoying weird facts I come up with.
I'm very sad to say that Ken passed away at 1am this morning. Fortunately he passed away peacefully for which I am grateful. Elizabeth and I were at his side, holding his hands and talking to him. I'm doing alright, I will be scarce for a little bit while I deal with my grief. You have all been such a support and I am forever thankful for all of you.
