| Ken, Nancy, Tim, Sarah |
On November 25, 2020 my beautiful wife was diagnosed with a terminal grade 4 glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) brain tumor. Nancy had brain surgery on November 30 which allowed us almost seven more months together. We traveled out west a bit and prepared for what was to come. God blessed us with a time of new closeness and personal growth together unlike any we experienced in the previous 42 years. Two of our sons, Tim and Matt, were with me at her bedside when she passed away June 19, 2021 at 00:30. We all miss her dearly.
