To The Family of Mr. Andrew Thomas King
I would like to express my deepest sympathy to each of you. Although we are not acquainted with one another, we are acquainted with the pain when our loved ones fall asleep in death.
Our Heavenly Father feels the pain that you are going through. When he created the first Man and Woman it was his purpose that they and their offspring including us live forever without the effects of sickness and death.
His purpose has not changed for he promises that the day is soon to come in which he will wipe away the tears of sorrow from our eyes forever and death will be no more.
He promises too that your loved ones, my loved ones and many others will hear his voice and come out of the memorial tombs graves.
Bea,
Much love and support during this time of sympathy. I will always have very fond memories of the boat, picnics and card parties and just plan FAMILY fun. Especially the memories when I was young and well, lets say a very active child. brat :

Dear Bea and Jordan,
Thinking about how Brother Andy is resting now, assured that his time was well spent on this planet and that all who were fortunate enough to come into contact with him through the years are blessed with the most endearing of memories. Although we will miss Brother Andy in his physical form and we certainly will, perhaps we can take comfort in the knowledge that he is and forever will be with us spiritually. Bea, my cousin, my friend and big sister, you know more than anyone how important your union was for me, especially in the early, formative years…non wavering life support, generosity and life affirmation that will never be forgotten. I can say so much more but I know that both you and Jordan know how I feel. I am so sorry for our loss………. but oh what a blessed love and life. Love you.

Dear Bea, Jordan and Family,
My deepest sympathy in the home-going of your wonderful husband and dad.
I remember the very pleasant visit Abigail Circle had at your lovely home. Mr. King was a kind host and I appreciate his patience with us ladies.
May the LORD continue to sustain you by His grace. May He especially bless Jordan to grow into the kind of young man that will honor the memories of his Dad.
In Christ,
Azalee

“The Road of Life may take us where we do not care to go- But our dear Lord extends His hand to hold, help and guide us.” We will surley miss Muggins all our boating experiences like freezing on the boat in the winter- just to be on the boat. The “cabin” in the country were our family times together. There were many other experiences- may our memories keep Mugs alive. Keeping you in prayer. You were a constant strength, loving wife and caregiver. Muggins would always keep up with politics/news and there were some “good” conversations. I will miss his BBQ- he sure knew what to do and how long it was to cook he had a science. Love You – God Bless

He really will be missed. I would always try to catch tadpoles in the pool you guys had at the ‘cabin’ and he was always so kind. He never told me the tadpoles would not make the trip back to Seattle.
Dear Bea, Jordan and Family,
I am sorry to hear of the home going of Andrew. You have my prayers, sincere sympathy and sorrow in the loss of your loved one.
Ms Bea and Jordan, you both are in my prayers during this time. Remember that you have a church family and friends that are here for the both of you.
Love
Lisa, Maya and Mrs. Collins
