Papa Ken

Jensen, Dad, Papa ken, Me, Abigail, Jamison and Briggs in 2010

 My Papa Ken, my dads dad, passed away late February. It was a shocker to us all. He has been declining in health for several years but was still up and about. On a trip through town, my Dad and Cindy, my family and my Papa Ken, Frankie and Tommy all had lunch together at Saltgrass earlier that month. While he was moving slow, he was doing OK. Unfortunately, later that month he fell and his injuries took his health from poor to terrible over night. We said good bye to our sweet papa Ken on February 25, 2014.

2010

 We spent time with papa Ken over the years, swimming at his lake house during some summers and playing pool at his house while visiting. Since living in Texas we have been able to see him a little more often since he lived in OK. We often met at restaurants and visited. Or when he cam down to go to a cowboys game (which he loved, but I think he liked the cheer leaders more) we got together as he watched his great grandkids run wild.

He was such a sweet and loving man and he will be greatly missed. In fondness I remember as his granddaughters entered the room he would always sing "Here she comes Miss America" and as my dad said at the funeral, we never really understood the meaning but he would always say "Hubba Hubba Edi Wa Chop Chop!" I always thought it was so funny.

The kids with papa Ken in Early 2013

Codee was able to come for the Funeral. This is she and I driving to OK

 My Dad and Cindy drove from Albuquerque and My sister Codee was able to fly down from UT. Unfortunately Cassidee wasn't able to make it on such short notice.  There were many people who loved Papa Ken and so many people came to pay their respects.  There are several grandkids from Frankies side who only knew Papa Ken as their Grandfather and he loved everyone one of them as his own. While we are sad to see him leave his earthly body, I am happy he is heaven free of the physical pains he constantly endured. Many hearts grieve at his loss but we all know he is in a far better place than we are. Until we meet again Papa Ken. We love you.
