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.

  11. I hope that it can be of some consolation for you and your daughter that you were there for him and he didn't suffer...I keep thinking of all those poor souls who have to pass away without anyone at their side because they're sick with Covid.

    I'm here if you want to talk.

    I hope that you've been able to do some healing over the past few weeks, but I'm sure life can't possibly feel the same. Sending prayers for you and your daughter.
