A Passing

The picture above is of my always-smiling mother-in-law and her husband of 10 years, Ken. Ken has been in a nursing home for the last 2 months and his body began a deterioration in earnest this last week. His heart was tired and he was called Home to be with the Lord he loved so much at 4:30pm June 29th.

Ken and Madalen married when they were 84 and 76 respectively. Quite a feat, wouldn't you say? They had giggled that maybe they'd have "five good years" together, but the Lord blessed them and doubled that time and gave them 10 years instead. Quite remarkable, indeed. They have both devoted their lives to the Lord's work and now heaven is that much the richer for having Ken as its newest resident.

Well done, you good and faithful servant. Well done, Ken.
