I am so sorry to hear that your dear Mother has passed. I loved "King" as my Grandchildren called her. She inspired and loved many, many children in her years at Harris Avenue. She is attending to all the "little angels" in heaven now.

Kathy and Donna,
"King" (as our children called her) was such a wonderful part of our lives! She was always so cheerful and truly loved our children at Harris Avenue Baptist Daycare. It was a joy to enter the building each afternoon and see her with the toddlers in that first room. She was such a loving and caring friend to all of them and so very sweet to the parents as well. Her love and concern will never be forgotten. She was a wonderful extra grandmother for our kids and we will always be grateful. Most importantly she showed God's love to all! You are in our thoughts and prayers.
In loving sympathy,
Phil & JoAnna Speciale and family

I went to Harris Avenue Baptist Church with your Mom for many years. She was the nicest lady. I remember where she sat at church. She is in heaven now playing with those children.

Mrs King was the reason I was able to go to work each day. I knew both my children were in the most loving hands when they were in her room at Harris Ave. We all loved Mrs King dearly. She had a true servants heart. She was a shining example of Gods Love. She touched so many hearts (children and parents.) My children received lots of hugs, kisses, encouragement, dancing and cheeto's puffs on her watch! I loved how she came to work an hour earlier for a week (not paid) just to have lunch with my daughter before she graduated up in to Mrs. King's class so "Sealie would get to know her better." They became friends very fast!! My family was blessed to know such a fine woman. She will be missed. Our prayers to those she leaves behind. Heaven has gained a true angel...
