Dear Dr Kenneth: sorry to hear about your loss. I searched for you in Jonesborough after you closed your office as I wanted to talk to you. Remember when you were in Waynesville, NC, in practice and I used to bring you fresh goat milk from my dairy goats in Maggie Valley? My phone is 828-230-4046 ( please text me as I am almost deaf), would love to see you once more as I am almost 76 now, my email is davis.margaret4644@gmail.com, may God bless you and your family!
Kenneth, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Jean
will always be a pleasant memory, as you are also.
I am in very bad health and will not be able to
attend a service. But know that I will be thinking
of you all.
I know the hurt, but if you will ask the Lord to
take the hurt but leave the memories he will.
Love & Prayers, Roger Bradley

Oh, dear Ken!
I know there’s nothing I can say right now to make things better, but I
also know that having someone to talk to at times like this is really
important, so don’t hesitate to call me whenever.
The glow of Jean's goodness always remains to give light to your
path.
Holding you in my heart and thoughts.
A life very well lived. A special woman.
