Ken, I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Kenny, so sorry to hear of Marian’s passing from this life. Her illness must have been difficult for you and your family.
Thank you for your thoughts. Her last 17 weeks of life were continuous stays in medical facilities with constant pain and discomfort. The kids and I were at her bedside when she passed away at the ICU in Mercy South Hospital.
Ken and family,
I am so sorry to learn of Marian’s passing. You and Marian (and Deke) were always great neighbors to Mom, Dad and I. She will be deeply missed by all that knew her. She was always very sweet and kind.
Jan Patterson
Thanks for the kind words, Jan
