I am sorry to hear of Deacon Jenney and his passing. Deacon Ken was very kind to sing for my Dad's funeral, he had such a lovely voice. My prayers to his family.

We met Ken when he was Deacon at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church. He always made people laugh with his wonderful sense of humor, but could also bring them to tears with his beautiful singing. God has another awesome singer in his heavenly choir!
We were very lucky to have known Ken and although we had not seen him for several years we thought of him often. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family & friends.

I'm so grateful that Ken was/is a very good friend of mine. He has done so many wonderful things for me including helping me get my Disability benefits. Ken is & always will be a very cherished friend who will be greatly missed. I love Ken & may our Risen Lord keep watch on you and you loved ones as well as giving you a beautiful safe place in Heaven with Him. Your friend, Ruth
