My deepest sympathy to all. I remember our mom's sitting on the front steps talking about things and when there was something they didn't want us to hear they would start talking Polish. I have fond memories of your mom sitting on her front steps waving to us as we left for school or work. These memories I will cherish as I remember my growing up. I am sure she is talking with my mom in Polish as we speak.

Mr. King, Chris, Sandy, Kenny, and John,

Please know I am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers at the loss of your wife and mom. Having lived with all of you through many good times with your family and especially Lydia, I always felt like family. One of the best things besides just having everyone as a family was being able to be a part of Lydia's cooking. She was a outstanding cook. Two specialties that come to mind are Pierogies and Lemon Bars. Thank you for sharing Lydia with me. She is in God's care now. If there is anything I can do for anyone please call me, I will be right there to help you.

Love,

Thomasine DeShaw

To all of Lydia King's family, please accept my sincere sympathy for your loss. Lydia was the epitome of a lady and a friend to all who knew her. Through your sadness remember to celebrate the wonderful life you had with her especially how happy she and John were as they celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. Remember her that way and you will smile each time you think of her. God Bless you all. I will keep Lydia and all of you in my prayers. Sincerely,
