Kenneth’s family: I'm so sorry for your loss. I went through a similar situation and I was very helped by the hope that I found in the Bible in John 5:28, which says, "Do not amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". I am sending you a link with more information on this hope.

To the DeSoo Family, please accept my sincerest sympathies over the loss of your beloved, Kenneth. It is clear that he touched the lives of many and will be truly missed. Our loving Creator knows how hard this is on you. We are told at Ezekiel 18:32 “I do not take any pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord. Please take comfort that he has a hope to live again when resurrected into a promised paradise earth. (John 5:28; Psalms 37:29).
I am sorry I cannot go to the viewing or the funeral for Ken as I will be out of town. I enjoyed calling on and working with Ken. He was always a gentleman and very considerate and understanding.
