Thanks again for all the kind words. Gina, I was so glad to meet you. Ken is going to remain very present in many places, especially in the gardens that he built around Montgomery. I’ll be at the Equality Alabama office in Montgomery tomorrow, and I know he’ll be there too.

Kathy,
Monday-Sharon and I were sitting on the bench in the back yard. We both looked at each other and couldn’t get over the prolific scent of something beautiful. Nothing was in bloom that we noticed. Later that night, while driving home to Tallhassee, we realized that it must have been Ken> there with us in his garden. We both cried> realizing that he was sending a message. I never had the pleasure to meet Ken > yet I feel I know him so well.
My heart goes out to you, Tony, your Mother and all the family. Sharon told me how beautiful the service was.
Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you and the family.
Much Love,
Gina
