  7. Jo was not only my sis in law but my friend. Jo and Jack stood for truth even if they stood alone. I and my kids are blessed to have had them in our lives. I will forever cherish the memories. Jo and I were each others confidants for many years. Nothing can fill the void left in her absence. But we can all find comfort in knowing that we loved her dearly, and she knew it, she is reunited with those who left such a void in her life and she lives on in all of us she touched. No more pain! Ellen, Steve, Kay, and Al..you are in my prayers. Sending love and hugs. Aunt Mary

  8. Kay I just want you to know that I am praying for your peace and thinking of you constantly. I loved your mothers quiet, sweet spirit. She was so kind to everyone. I’m sure she will be missed by many. With all my love, Andrea

  9. To the family and friends of Emily Jo King: I wanted to send my condolences in this important time of need. God, our Creator, knows that we are having a great pain in our heart and he is eager to bring us comfort. He too has endured his son passing away. John 3:16
    Who better to give us hope than, someone who has experienced the same situation. In Revelation 21:4,5 God promises us that he will do away with death and sorrow and that he will replace those former things with a new world.

  10. I just learned of your passing, that God has called you home, Altho is hurts that your no longer with, I happy and envy you so, your in the arms if Jesus and our dearest family gone before us, but I also know one day we’ll all be together again.

    To my family I share your pain over the passing of this great lady, before my Dad Cecil Lee Donald Jr. Passed on he spoke with me about the family I didn’t know well, but through the time I had with him before he went home, I learned of my aunts and my uncle and about my grand parents, I just hope I’ve been able to make them proud of me.

    My deepest condolences and even though I so late in learning of the passing of Mrs. Emily Jo King, everyone is in my prayers
