My Dearest friend

I'm, Art Clayton am writing this for my mother Dee.

I am so sorry for the loss of your family you were a huge part of my family my kids thought of you as a uncle brother or even sometimes like myself art as a father yes you will be truly missed.

Please understand that we would love to be there but unfortunately just as yesterday I arrived in Kentucky to be with my son and his family for the holidays.

(This is Dee's exact words below)

I loved you like my own brother and I will miss you so much I just wish I had called you more after you moved to the Amana but Ken you will be missed by my family as much as any relative of ours and I know you are at peace and I hope you get to see Jimmy up there and you guys will have a lot of fun oh and yes John is up there too oh my golly what a time that will be but rest in peace I love you.

I graduated from High School with Kenneth. Our family lived down the road from his family when we were younger. I remember his siblings. I will not be able to attend his services as we will be travelling to MI. for Thanksgiving with our son and his family.

I will pray for the happy repose of his soul and for all of you --his family- at this sad time.
