Mrs. Elesta King was a wonderful person and a great neighbor! I have many fond memories from my childhood growing up across the street on Invermere, including the days when Jeannette used to take several of us kids to the CCC summer program downtown, to the time Tracey and I went to prom! Over the years, Mr. and Mrs. King were always there, helping to make the block a great place to grow up. She kept her yard and home beautiful w/ the many flowers she planted…she even was kind enough to take several plants of mine and cared for them for years after I moved away from Ohio. She was a great family friend! Diane, Jeannette, Bobby, Tracey, Danielle, and Crystal, we love you all and will miss your mom/grandma! God Bless….
Crystal, my prayers are with you and your family. May the memories of your grandmother be a source of strength for you as you continue to take charge of your life and make your destiny all that you want it to be.
Haven’t seen Mrs. King for years, but thought of her regularly. Sorry I let time go without a hello. Will always have loving thoughts of you. God bless the family!
Love, Alice
I have so many good memories of you, Mrs. King, but my favorite is making “chocolate chip cookies” at your house for our “Skating Club”. Those were the “Good ole Days”. I’ll truly miss you, but you will always be in my heart. May the Lord hold both You and my Mom in His arms forever.
A truly lovely Lady,Neighbor,Friend who was like a another Mom on Invermere Ave to me,we had many talks over the years that really encouraged me in my life,from Mrs.King helping me to plant my first tulips,baking tips&just being there across the street. I will miss her now so much,as I have Mr.King since December 2002,as I was called their daughter. I will always cherish the love & memories that we shared.
Sorry to see you go but God wanted you home. No more suffering you’re at peace now. God has another flower in his garden.
Mrs King,
All you ever asked of me was love and respect and you treated me like one of your own…what a lady.
