I am so very sorry for the loss of Ken. He was one of the nicest guys I have ever met. He was always so nice to me when I was at your house and sure loved his family. Love you all…thoughts and prayers to all of you.
I want to send my love and sympathies to the Lodahl family. I’m very sorry for your loss. It’s no way to really describe the pain one feels when death overtakes a loved one. Feelings of sadness and grief can be overwhelming during this time of mourning. However, comfort from the scriptures can give you hope. John 5:28,29 speaks of the promise of the resurrection. That scripture says, “Do not be amazed at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” What this can mean for your family is a real hope of being reunited with your dead loved ones.
I feel very sad that Ken is not longer with you and us over here in Norway. He was always such a warm and kind friend. Great fun to be with. Always a positive person he was. I miss him. Our thoughts are with all of you. Hugs.
We will miss that big Smile and warm Hug that Ken always greeted us with when we would see him!! A kind and gentle soul that always made us happy to be next to his side at family gatherings. God took home a very special angel and he will be missed!! Gods speed Ken. Our condolences to his wonderful family and friends.
Evie, So sorry to hear about the loss of your husband Ken. Never easy to let go of the ones we love. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
