Dear Larry, George and family, Jack and I were very sad to hear that your mom has passed on. We do not know if she has been ill or not but hope that she did not suffer. If this was a difficult passing, I know that all of you did everything you could have done to make her passing as easy for her as you could. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Chris & Jack King
