KC was my grandmother-in-law. And even though I wasn't really family she treated me like I was. Giving me advice about right or wrong and listening to my life goals. I was with her when she passed away and even though I knew she was going to a better place it was hard to come to the realization that she was gone. She will be greatly missed by me and especially her great-grandson who had just started to call her Gigi.

Lloyd, we were very saddened to hear of K.C.'s passing. She and you have meant a great deal to us, we will miss her and will keep you in our prayers. I can't ever think of either of you without thinking of the great generosity and caring for others that you both have shown through the years. The medical mission work that you and K.C. gave to so selflessly has touched countless lives, and the example that you both set has touched my life as well.

K.C. and you are very close in our hearts. If there is anything that we can do to help in any way, please let us know.

(Shepherd of the Valley UMC.)
