My heartfelt condolences for Mrs. King’s family. I have always held a high amount of respect for Both Mrs. King, and Mr. King. The Kings made a huge positive impact on a lot of peoples lives. Numerous young people were given the opportunity to work at Brookside Pool as either their first job or one of their first jobs. I’m very thankful they provided me with the opportunity to work at Brookside. I will not forget the great role model they set, and what truly good people they both were.
Respectfully

Tammy and Sandy and families, my heartfelt sympathies to you. Your mom was such a sweetie. My very first DJ job was doing the very last moonlight dip in Aug. of 78. I blew my brother’s speakers out as I really didn’t have the right equipment. I went to the bathhouse and told her what happened. She paid me, Which I didn’t want, but she insisted. And also gave me a handful of quarters to plug the jukebox. Her kindness and generosity were two of her greatest characteristics. Your mom and dad are toghether again. Peace be with you all.

Dear Family of Jackie, Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you as you hold onto memories of your mother. Both of your parents were part of my life through Covenant UMC. Your Dad was my 7th grade Sunday School teacher while both of them were supportive of my music ministry. Your mother’s vivacious personality and lovely smile were always a joy to see on Sunday mornings. Blessings to your entire family as you treasure the good times.
