I was very sad to learn of Kenneth's passing, and we all prayed for his family at the Wed. night prayer meeting at Lake City Baptist Church. Please accept our sincere sympathy and prayers for your loss. At the previous Wed. night church supper before the Bible study and prayer meeting, Kenneth kindly asked me to go ahead of him in the church supper line because I was in a wheelchair. I did not want to do that, but he insisted. And I remember that during the church supper, Kenneth talked to the pastor about his work and about his heart surgery. Kenneth Tarver, Sr. was a good-hearted Christian...he was kind, smart as a whip, and hard-working. May you feel the Lord's comfort and the many prayers with you. Ellen Robinson

For the family, but especially for Pat, his spirit is now where he can watch over you. I will be by to see you after I recoup from surgery, we are almost neighbors. We will be thinking of you during these days of grief.
