Jean,
You have my deepest sympathy. Sorry I didn't know your mother passed away until now. Karen was the one who let me know.

To all the King Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy at the death of your dear mother.
I have many fond memories of numerous card games between my parents and yours. I can still hear Zita saying very loudly, "Norman, stop talking overboard". And he would just laugh and keep talking. I'll bet that there is a heck of a 500 game going on in heaven right now.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Zita now knows the ultimate happiness that Norm and my parents have been waiting to share with her. God Bless You All!
