Renie was a very special lady and my Mother’s friend. As a young girl, I visited, with My family, Mike, Hilda & Virginia, Renie and Willie many times. So glad I saw her two years ago at Beulah’s Homecoming and took her picture with her sister Kizzie and talked with them. You have our prayers during you time of grief. May God Bless you.
OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH EACH ONE OF YOU DURING THIS TIME OF GREAT SORROW. BUT THERE’S NO MORE PAIN, NOR SORROW, NOR DEATH WHERE MRS. KING HAS GONE. MAY GOD’S GREAT ARMS OF LOVE COMFORT ALL . MANY PRAYERS & BLESSINGS, JESSIE & DARLA
