I am so sorry for your loss. I have always thought the world of Jeneane. My memories of her go way back to when we were about two years old. I treasure those memories.(Giggling through sacrament meeting to the consternation of Aunt Lucille is one of them. I think we were about seven or eight years old.) She, Garr, and I were regular playmates. The world will be a less charming and funny place without her. I am so grateful that I got to see her a few times in the last few years. Love, her cousin, Ellen g

Jim, I so enjoyed being her neighbor at Ft Myer – love the story of us saving the holly tree – she was a special lady and endured more than most of us could bear. Tom and I are both so sorry for your loss –
GEN King and family, you have my deepest sympathy. Only met her once in Bethesda when I was on the director’s staff. But we saw her through his eyes and how he spoke of her from what to wear to how she designed his office. What a lovely lady!
Dear Bishop King, I am sorry to hear that Sister King passed away. She was such a wonderful woman–an example we all looked up to when we were in the Langley Ward. My favorite memory was when we came over to your house a few years ago with our spouses for dinner. The warmth she and you created in your home was palpable and we could tell you both loved each other deeply. May you and your family be blessed with much peace during this difficult time and the reassurance that you will see her again someday in heaven.
