To the family of Mrs. King: I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. King while I was working at Skyline Manor in the summer/fall of 2009. She was a hoot! I thoroughly enjoyed working with her and hearing stories that she had to tell. She was so proud of her family, that was something that was very evident as she talked about them very fondly and often. I am deeply sorry for your loss. I'm glad that she isn't in pain or suffering anymore and is rejoicing in Heaven with the angels. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless you and keep you!

Sarah and family, My sincerest and deepest sympathy to you in the loss of your Mother. I know that things have been tough for a while, but know that I have been praying for you and you are still in my prayers. She is at peace now and free of her pain. God is the only one we can lean on for comfort. My prayer is that God will wrap His arms around all of you and heal your broken hearts in the days ahead and fill the void and loneliness. He will carry you through, that we can always be assured of. GOD BLESS!!
