Personal note from Audrey Spivey

I am deeply grateful for all the love and support I have received. With the help of everyone’s generosity, I found a beautiful final resting place for Ken’s ashes in a niche at Sunset Memory Gardens in Thonotosassa. Finding the right place was very important to me. When I first saw the glass niches at Sunset, I was captivated by the stories they told and the love displayed. I felt this was the ideal place for Ken and to memorialize his story. I chose this cemetery for its peaceful beauty, and I liked the idea that it is central to places of meaning in Ken’s life: his home in Seffner, the lawnmower shop, USF, and Sacred Grounds. I hope you can visit him.

The location is:

Sunset Memory Gardens
11005 North US Highway 301
Thonotosassa, FL 33592

The niche is located inside the mausoleum. It is air conditioned and there are places to sit. You can park in front of the mausoleum.

I am blessed to have made this possible with your help. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

With Love,

Audrey Spivey
