Kristee, we were so sorry to get Shannon's call but appreciated being told about Ken. We have lost a true and great friend, but we still have you and treasure your friendship. We will be unable to come out for the service, I'm sorry for that, but we will be there for you when we get out for good in a few months. Please let us help in any way we can. It is such a miracle for people to connect the way we did. We feel privileged to have known Ken for these last 5 years and think how lucky we were to be his friend. Please take care of yourself. We love and support you as much as you need. All our love and concern, Bettie and Ted

I cherish the friendship that I had with Ken. He truly had a gift that I am glad that he could share with us. Like Ken once said; I wish that him and I would of met sooner in life, we would of had a wonderful time and friendship. Maybe the Lord kept us apart till this time in our life's. The world probably couldn't of handled both of us together that long. We would of just got into trouble. Ken will be truly missed! I am proud to have known him, and to call him a true friend.

Dear Kristee and family, and Faye and K and family, Stan and I want you to know our thoughts, and prayers, and love are with each of you. Your collective and individual strengths and your examples of love and family are an inspiration. Ken is an inspiation to all of us. He fought so valiantly with such great faith. I am so grateful for the short time I was able to spend with him several weeks ago at a "gathering" in the Brady home. I left a better person, amazed at the things I had learned from Ken that day. We love you all and we are praying for you.

Dear Brady family: We are so sorry to hear of Ken's passing. I have fond memories of Ken from high school. It was good to see him last month at our high school reunion. When he told me then that he was suffering from ALS, I was amazed at his positive attitude while dealing with such a terrible disease. I am sure he took strength and comfort from his faith and the support of his good family. May the Lord bless you with peace and comfort. Scott and Saundra Ragsdale Sandy, Utah
