Not sure what to say?

Dear Poppy,

I have been so sad & overwhelmed with the thought of losing both you and Grandpa in such a short period of time. However, I can take comfort in knowing that you are together and enjoying each other's company.

Thank you for welcoming me into your family & treating me like one of your own. I am so grateful that you were in my life.

Your music, laughter, humor, & spirit will be forever missed!

I love you

to the king family We extend our sincere sympathies to you on the loss of your dear father, friend and fishing buddy. May your many fond memories help you in this time of grief. Our thoughts are with you. Love your cousin the Radtke family

My Dearest Dad,
I was not ready to lose you, but I guess we never are. I was not prepared for the physical pain, but it was there. I was not ready for missing you so very much already, but I do.

Thank you, Dad. For making life so interesting and different. For always being kind and gentle. For always being funny. For always being proud of me. For loving me no matter what.

You will always be my King and I will always be your Princess.

Love,
Kathy

Our Dear King Family,

What can we say about the most complete man that we've ever known. He followed his dreams wherever they took him and the utmost respect for our "Uncle Benny" will always be in our hearts. We know that he now lies in peace, for he suffers no longer. We are so very sad that he is no longer with us in body, but his spirit will be with us forever and that gives us comfort. Our prayers are always with you, our dear King family, for you have touched us in ways that...

Dear Jeff and Nancy: My heartfelt sympathies to you both. To say that this year has been marked as being one of great loss would certainly be an understatement. To lose your parent is difficult always--no matter the circumstance or age. I'm sure Bernie will live on in the precious memories you and your family have of him. My love and prayers for healing go out to the entire family. Love, Paula

To the entire King family,
Your loss is shared by so many that knew and loved Poppy. We feel so blessed to have all of you as dear friends. He is sorely missed but we know that eventhough he is no longer with us phyically he will always be as close as our loving thoughts and memories of him. He is probably playing a lively toon on his piano and waiting for his polish sausage and a big peice of pie right now! Know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear King Family,
When we met Bernie almost 20 years ago we knew instantly that he was a special man. Surrounded by a beautiful wife and family, there was such a closeness and his pride in his family that showed in everything he said and did. We shared many dinners together where we found ourselves riveted to each and every story he shared...what a spectacular life Bev and Bernie shared together...we still find ourselves sharing the many stories with our son that Bernie shared with us....

Dear Poppy,

You are such a sweet and loving person. I'm feel very fortunate and blessed to have not only known you but also to be part of your family. I will miss your humor and fun loving spirit. Say hello to Grandpa Mike for me. I'm glad he will have another old timer to keep him company up there. I will never forget you.

Love, David

Dear King Family,
I just want all of you to know that I am keeping you in my prayers. I know he will miss you as much as you will miss him. I am sure he is watching over you and sending strengh and love your way to help you through this difficult time. He was a special man.
Love, Diane
