I would like to ask my blogging friends to say a prayer for a family I have come to know very well in the last few years. The King Family lost a loved one and her memorial service is today. It has been a long week of preparation and grief. They have loved ones coming into town so it will be bittersweet to see those they haven't seen in a while but sad that it is for such an occasion. Barbara was only 57 and has been in the hospital for two months and they were never able to discover what was causing her health issues. After much pain and suffering, yet with a happy mindset as she battled everyday to beat whatever was attacking her body, Barbara passed over to be with our Lord. The family is brokenhearted and looking for answers when there are none to be found.
She was a wonderful lady with a loving husband, three beautiful children and an adorable grandson who is in kindergarten. As they say that final goodbye today, my heart is going out to them. I have come to know the whole family in the past couple of years and have gotten very close to one of Barbara's sons. She was a very talented artist, songwriter, singer and author of poetry. There will forever be a little of her living on in her son because he has inherited her talents.
I just pray that God will reach down and touch their hearts as they go through the closing of this chapter in their lives today. They are a good Christian family and know she is in a much better place, but that doesn't stop the grief. Please pray for comfort for them.
