Ken and Ann were dear, close friends of my older sister, Bet Amis. I’m almost 12 years younger than my sister, and she was the supreme example for me of everything good and right. I loved her dearly and spent a lot of time with her. Consequently, I spent a lot of time around the Monroes from the time I was quite young (c. 10 years old) until Bet died when I was in my 70s. Ken was always busy doing something- gardening, tinkering on a car, repairing something, or at St. Christopher’s taking care of something. I don’t think I ever saw him when he wasn’t smiling. It was obvious to me all those years that what he loved most in the world was his very large family! I know they will miss him. Blessings to all of them as they learn to live without his daily presence in their lives.

My condolences to all of you on the loss of our beloved Ken. His ever present good humor and faithful service to St. Christopher's will be sorely missed. Two images of Ken abide in my mind: one is the massive ring of keys for St. Christopher's he carried, the other is one of the final acts of leaving the old parish, when he helped take the St. Christopher's sign off the church as it was stolen legally by the dark side. I can hear our Lord saying to him " Well done, good and faithful servant, welcome home, come sit down and take your well deserved rest." May the Comforter console all who love him with strength, peace, and certain hope.

I remember Ken Monroe as a kind dad to his kids, a committed gardener with his wife, and a committed family man. I remember that he taught me to water ski at the age of 13 when I was invited out to their Possum Kingdom holiday house for a weekend with Susan and friends. He loved his family so much. God bless him.

Dear family of Kenneth. I only enjoyed visiting with Kenneth on 2 occasions. I am a close friend of Susan. The most precious memory I have is that of a wonderful and vibrant family, full of love. That is so important and it shines bright in all of you. I am so sorry for your loss. I know he was an amazing father, husband and friend. He is in the presence of Angels and our Lord. Though we don’t understand God’s plan, we must trust it, and find peace. Susan I love you and my thoughts and evening prayers are for you and your family. Michele Purgason
