Mike Hensley with a heartfelt message; Jana Ragan for the beautiful song, a favorite of his; and Dixie Fox for the beautiful patriotic recording by her with beautiful music on the piano—also his favorite.
Thanks to all who made this sad time for my family and I a special occasion.
I know Ken would be so blessed to know all that loved him and remembered him from his past.
