  1. Sheila,
    I was very saddened to hear about your father’s passing. I’m glad I had the opportunity to get to know him. His wonderful sense of humor kept a smile on my face as we worked together. He will be greatly missed. You and David are in my prayers.

  2. My deepest sympathy goes out to the King Family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. God had a plan and his plan was for Mr & Mrs King to be together. They are together and smiling down on all. May God be with you all at this time.

  4. Jacob – thank you for your kind words about dad. He did have a great sense of humor and I loved him so much. I miss him so badly but I know he is happy now in heaven and he is there with mom. They will never ever have to be separated again.

  5. Thanks Angela for your prayers. Mom and Dad were very special people and I know it had been so hard for them to be separated for 18 months due to dad’s being in the nursing home. I’m so thankful that they will never ever have to be separated again!
    Love,
    Shelia
