To the family,
Dad, Reynard Parris, and I knew Rev. King for only a short time, however, our talks were always full of love, encouragement, and love of God and mankind. It was clear that he was a wise and caring shepherd, always there to guide his flock. Certainly, he exemplified a "life well lived." We and many others will miss his smile and gentle demeanor. May he dwell in peace! For those left behind, may your memories suffice to give you comfort in these days of sorrow and loss. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Reynard Parris and Rasheedah Muslim (Sonata Viera)
