Susan,

Our most heartfelt condolences for you in Ken’s passing. Through everything you have all been through you both kept amazing positive attitudes. He always kept a smile on his face even in great pain and was an amazing man.

Susie, Amy, and all the rest of Ken’s family (both genetic and not),

Words can’t describe how much my heart hurts for you guys. I am honored to have been able to take care of Ken and get to know you all; you are all extraordinary people that always filled the room with positivity – not an easy feat given the circumstances. And Ken was the biggest fighter I have ever encountered. 7W will be a different place in your absence. You will all be missed greatly.

Love, hugs, and a raised glass,
The Redhead
