Dear Marilyn and Family, Our sincerest sympathy is with you all. Roy and I will most definitely miss seeing Ken in his yard this summer. When we first moved to Colorado ten years ago, Ken was the one we went to regarding yard and tree care. We watched, and when he fertilized the yards, he knew to head to Home Depot to get weed and feed. When Ken cleaned out the gutter, then Roy was doing the same within a couple of days. I have to admit though, seeing Ken on the roof nearly scared me to death several times.
Marilyn, anytime you need a hand or a hug just know we are a phone call or a small walk away.
Warmly,
Robin and Roy
My thoughts have been with you all. The fondest memories I have of time spent at Grandma & Grandpa Fuller's home: carefully examining & playing in playing in the old "shells" of antique trucks of Grandpa Fuller's out back, picking strawberries from the garden which we made homemade old fashioned ice cream-rock salt and all, and of course, the Holidays. Though much time has passed and I'm several states away, am very glad to have seen him (as well as Grandma Fuller and Andrea), not too long ago… And per the announcement-I'll donate to the link provided in lieu of flowers or a plant. Sincerest sympathies, Mandy.
My thoughts are with you and will continue for I love you all so dearly.
Ken–peace be with you. You always made me laugh.
