December 15 well my dear brother, our Lions streak is over.  They lost to the Buffalo Bills.  We are now 11 and 2.  We did make the playoffs, so that's one good outcome.    I don't have anything else to say, boring life, the weather is cold, and everyone is doing good.  We had a mass said for you last Sunday and they did mention your name.  I tried to get a mass for you on your anniversary, but that day was already taken.  A mass will be said for you on May 4th.  So sorry that I have to do that, I'd rather you be here instead.   Rest in peace my dear Ken and of course missing you everyday.   Love to you, Karen

Oh my gosh brother.  You brought the Lions good luck today.  Today is your birthday, Happy Birthday.  The Lions won it with 2 seconds to go 34-31.  Nervous this team does it.  What a great birthday present to you.    I would love for you to be here so we could cheer together.  What a great time we would have.  Thank you my dear brother for your birthday gift from you to us.  Love you, miss you, Karen

Brother, I have not written to you since Sept., shame on me.  I really don't have much to say except the Lions keep on winning.  They are 11-1.  It is so much fun watching them, sometimes nervously too.  Tomorrow, your birthday they play the Packers.  If they win tomorrow they will clinch the division.  Packers have been winning lately and we have so many players out due to injury.  Hoping for the best tomorrow.  Tomorrow you would have been 82.  You know I think and talk to you everyday.  I say a special prayer to you, Life is not same without you, all the world would be like Heaven if we could have you back again.  I say this daily and always think of you.  I'm getting emotional now because life is not the same.  My dear brother, I'm going to say good night now and I will wish you a Happy Birthday a day early.  Love, Hugs and Kisses, Karen.

Hello my brother.  The lions lost to the bucs, 20-16.  They looked awful.  First game overtime, second game loss.  Poor time management, too many people on the field.  Goff didn't look like he had it together, defense, ok?  Offense, nothing.  Interceptions, dropped balls.  They gotta get better, or no super bowl for them this year.  I know, only 2 games in, but some teams are 2-0.  Nothing else is going on here for now, weather has been in the 80's.  Maria called the other day but I did not talk to her, I was sick.  Just an update about our DETROIT LIONS.  love and missing you every day.  Karen

Ken, all I talk about to you is football, but, there other news going on here.  Lorrie & Bob moved 3 weeks ago to South Carolina.  Lorrie said she was tired of Florida and wanted to go somewhere else.  They decided on S. C., It took them 9 long months to move.  They put their house up for sale and it never sold.  Many people came and looked at it and loved it, but that was the end.  The bank ended up buying their house and now they are finally getting settled in S.C.  I've seen pictures of their house and it is very very nice.  Nathaniel is now interested in golf.  He goes as often as he cans and he really likes it.  Glad he found an outside interest.  His job, for the summer, has been doing landscaping and even though on hot days he hasn't complained once.  He likes working outside instead of working at fast food where everyday someone would get into his face.  Mikey is still doing school from home.  I'm so glad Amy is working from home to be able to help him.  He is 13 already, and Nathaniel is 20.  Ken, I'm getting old.  Jimmy is still working at plumbing and puts in a gazillion hours.  Joe is doing good, doing the treadmill everyday.  I don't know where he gets the energy.    As for me, still making cards for Meals on Wheels and still enjoying it.  Makes me feel to good that knowing a card can make someone happy.  Well my dear brother, I'll close for now, but will keep you updated as things happen.  Always know you're in my heart.  Missing and loving you, Karen.

Well here are brother.  Lions first game of the 2024 season.  They played Stafford again, I do like Matthew but not when he plays us.  The Lions make me very nervous.  They were leading but then, the Rams went ahead.  We had to go to overtime and we won the game on the first play, 26-20.  Wow.  If they keep playing like this I don't know if I can take it.  They sure do make the games interesting.  Boy do I wish you were here.  I know I say that every time, but I truly mean it.  I miss you, but especially football season is the hardest for me.   Our dad's passion for football carried over for both of us.  You especially because you even went to high school football games in Texas whenever your could.  What football fan.  Next week we play Bucs and sports writers are already picking us to win.  Let's hope so.  My dear brother Ken, I will keep you posted.  Love to you, my true Lions fan, oh, sorry but Dallas won too.  I know, I know, neither one of us likes them.  Who decided they are America's team?  Not me.  Love again, missing you daily.  Karen

Hello Brother, today is Sept. 1 and one week from today football season for the Lions start.  They play the Rams, again, Stafford.  Can't wait.  Wish you were here so we can discuss the game.  Football is not same without you to talk to.  Remember all our $5.00 bets.  I don't know who came out ahead, you or me.    Of course I will continue to let you know how our team is doing.  MISS YOU.  I have  2 pics of you in my bedroom and 2 in the kitchen and I talk to you everyday.    Miss and Love you, hugs and kisses to you.  Your sister, Karen.

My Dear Ken, today is May 1st, your second anniversary.  I remember your passing as if it was yesterday.  All of my days I must say hello to you a dozen times.  I have your picture in my kitchen and whenever if leave I say hello to you.  Joe & I went to church today and said prayers for you.  Of course you are in my daily prayers as with all of our family members who have passed.  I bought an angel and she is holding a cardinal in her hands, of course it reminds me of you.  Love you brother of coursing missing our phone calls, (yeah it's your brother calling).  Rest in peace and be in God's graces.  Love You, Karen.

Oh Ken.  We lost going to the super bowl.  The 49's beat us.  What a let down.  I talked to your picture telling them to get the game for you.  It just didn't work out the way we wanted it to.  Dropped passes, fumble, going for first downs on the 4th play.  We deserved to loose.  They had 0 points until the 4th quarter and then it was too late.  Oh my brother how I wish they would have won.  Another year gone down the drain.  We will need new coaches, the draft, and free agents to get this team ready for next year.......I'm sorry for their loss not only for all the zillion fans but for you too.   Love, hugs and kisses to you.  Your disappointed sister, Karen.

Oh my gosh Ken, the Lions just won against Tampa Bay 31-23.  One more game and we go to the Super Bowl.  What a game.....Of course I would rather you be here instead of typing this letter.  What a conversation we would have.  I talked to you thru the game and told you to cheer them on and guess what, YOU DID IT.   Thank You.    I'll keep you informed and missing you every day.  Love , hugs and kisses.  Karen

My brother, a true Lions Fan, we won a playoff game with the Rams.  We won within 1 point.  We are now going to play Tampa Bay on Sunday.  Ford Field was the place to be, even if I wasn't there.  One of our friends went and he said it was crazy.  Hopefully we can win and keep going.  Never know, Super Bowl bound.  I'll keep you updated on how we do and I know you and how happy you would have been.   I wish I was sharing this news with you and I talk to you so you what's going on.  Keep on going Lions for my brother.  Love and missing you every day, your loving sister.

Jan. 8, 2024  My dear brother oh I wish you were still with us for this football news.  The Lions are in the playoffs , they will be at Ford Field and they are going to play the rams.  Goff and Stafford.  That field will be soooo loud I hope stafford  (even tho he was my quarterback) can't hear and gets 20  flags for delay of game.    The hype this week will be all about those 2 quarterbacks.  Oh the conversations we could have had.  Missing you everyday and talking to you too.  Your missing sister.  Love you, hugs and kisses.  Karen.

My dear brother.  It has been 1 year and 7 months since you have passed.  I talk to you every day and of course miss you every day.  Oh Ken, if only you were here now, we would  talk about the Lions.  You would have been so happy to hear about their success.    I know you are rooting them on, so please continue.  Super bowl here we come, lol.   Your in our conversations all the time with Lorrie, Amy, Joe, Maria and with my friends.   You are so missed and always in my prayers.  Love you BROTHER.  Your sad sister, Karen.

My Dear Brother, oh how I MISS You.  Lorrie and I went to the cemetery  yesterday on your first anniversary .  We put flowers and the picture of the three of us on your grave site.  I talked to you and told you how much I missed you, talked  about the Lions and  my love for you.  I will not print of the other things I talked about because other people might read this as it is between us.  One year has passed and it has been a painful one for me.  I have mourned you more than I have our parents.  Brother, know that I talk to you everyday .   I will keep my inner thoughts to myself and share them only with you.  My love  and prayers are with you everyday.  Peace be with you, love your sister.

Missing you everyday of my life.  I have no one to talk to about the Detroit Lions.   I don't have our $5.00 bets.   I miss our talks on who should be the next quarterback.  I JUST MISS YOU.  Karen

Ray may you rest in peace.  Your dedicated service to our country and life will never be forgotten.  Our deepest sympathy for C.C. and Ray's family.  May God bring comfort to everyone during this difficult time.  CSM(R) Daniel and Yvonne Chavez 

Sharing comforting thoughts between Sisters and Brother.

Rest in peace my dear neighbor, all your pain is gone.
I will miss talking politics with you and hear your favorite saying "Can't fight City Hall"

My Dear Brother,  my memories of us and the family are vacations, Vegas, gambling in Detroit, White Castles, your laughter and of course your quotes:  Can't fight City Hall, and I'm telling the truth, no lie.  Your love of our Country and how proud you served it.   You are in heaven and when my time comes I can't wait to see you and the rest of our family.  Ken, do me one favor, when you see GiGi give her a pat on her head.  Love Love your sister Karen.

Thank you for being such a great uncle.  Love you always Amy
