Rex, Rita, Connie, Ricky, & Melissa. I am unable to come for the wake & burial due to my circumstances here in South Carolina. Remembering lots of memories when we were growing up, the many visits, and happy times we had. Even though mom & your mom had their differences it never changed the love we had for each other. Your mom had that special love for all she came in contact with. She always had that special smile & hug. May the Lord Jesus Christ wrap His loving arms around you all as your go through the loss of you mom: my aunt. When mom died I had a neighbor give me an angel that had these words: "Love leaves a heartache no one can heal, Love leaves a memory no one can steal". So true!
You all stay close. Time is too short. We never know when God will call us home! I love you all!
Your 1st cousin - Helen King's Daughter
