    To The Family of James King, I only knew Mr. King through the beautiful stories that his daughter Lori shared. My niece Barb also told me what a kind man Jim was. From all of the pictures that were shared, I can see Jim was a hard working man, with incredible kind eyes. A man who first adored his wife, and then, one by one as their children were born. The family grew more as the kids married and gave Jim grandkids. I can tell Jim is someone I would have loved to meet. I will be praying for your family as you try to find a new normal for your lives. May you find comfort knowing that Jim’s life continues through the memories and stories each one of you share about Jim. Much LOve
