Anne King

Anne will always be remembered as a wonderful friend and teacher! Miss YOU, Frances and Phil Herron

Anne was a dear friend, always making everyone laugh and feel great. She was loved by the teachers and students at Hollydale. She is missed and remembered, especially at Derby time, always a fun party. Anne, Phil and I love YOU.

When Anne taught our son, she was very supportive. During a politically difficult time in Marietta, we were on the Square in Marietta standing up for gay rights. Bobby held a sign that said I love my gay uncle and GOD does too. I was a little concerned about how Bobby would be treated by others when he got to school. Annewalked up to Bobby, gave him a hug and said she was proud of him. That made everything a whole lot stressful for himbecause of her acceptance of what he was standing up...

Dear Mike,
I am probably the last one to hear of your wife's passing. I simply don't read the paper much anymore,but I do usually check the obits. I remember the look you always got on your face when you talked about your wife; I know she was special, obviously to many, many people, but most of all to you.
You and I knew each other for a short time, but I remember your jokes with Larry W. about him smoking at your wedding and how much you two liked that comic named "Tater".

To the King family: On october 24, 2008 while sitting in a restaurant; a teacher from Hollydale which is mrs. Anyanwoke was talking to me concerning my nephew. I asked a question; which was if Mrs. King was still teaching at Hollydale, after i heard that she had retired a while back. Not knowing that she had passed away. It gave me great joy to know that i had the opportunity to meet mrs. king for 9 years while teaching my daughter Ariel Mckay, who is now a senior in high school. And the...

Mr. King - I just finished reading the wonderful story that you wrote in the paper, having to stop more than once to wipe the tears away. My heart continues to go out to you, Katie, and Patrick, for the loss of such an important person in your life. Mrs. Anne was such an amazing woman, always so joyous in everything she did, and the best part was that her happiness was brilliantly contagious. I can't begin to say that I understand what your family is going through, but please know that mine...

Mr. King. I did not have the pleasure of knowing your wife, and I am truly sorry about that. She must have been a wonderful person. I too lost my companion a year ago, and the tears still come. I have no words of comfort for you, but I know that my faith and the presence of God in my life got me to this point. Some days I had to remind myself to breathe, and sometimes I still must do that. But most days I can smile when I think of him and not burst out into tears by the mention of his name or...

Mr. King,
I found your article a true example of love expressed through journalism at its highest form. Those of us not lucky enough to have known your wife certainly can appreciate the wonderful woman she was and the relationship you shared.

Unfortunately, I have experienced the scene with the doctor you described with both of my parents and my father in law. With the exception of one physician, my family and I felt surrounded by compassion and support from the medical staff in...

Mr. King, today I read your article about your wonderful wife, Anne in the AJC obituary column. It was the most profound article I've read in a long time. Your love for Anne was apparent in your tribute to her. God bless you. It must have been a great relationship that you two shared, and thank you for sharing Anne with the ones of us that did not know her.
