Neil and Carolyn, so sorry to hear about your brother. We are keeping you both and all your family in our thoughts.
Mike, Linda, and all the Lebeter family. Our heartfelt sympathy goes to you during this sad time. 🙏🏻
I met Ken at the Taylorville Dialysis Center as he sat next to my dad during his treatments. Ken became part of the “family” and I really enjoyed visiting with him before they took him back for his treatments. He will be deeply missed by all of us. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family at this difficult time. May God give you comfort and strength as you face the days ahead. Blessings to you.
