GERALD ELVIS KING 10/22/1936 - 08/02/2009

Gerald passed away @1:06 this morning while Vicki & I were on the road to the hospital. I saw him at seven, but couldn't wake him for conversation. He would respond to my voice, but didn't speak.

He had a painless, alert last week of his life. He looked better than I had seen him look in several months, and was in very good spirits.......so good, in fact, Vicki & I were concerned he did not understand he was terminal...... :-) I called the hospital to make sure the doctors had explained everything to him.......they called back & said he understood everything. So, I am grateful for his pain free last week and his frame of mind, and sharing his sense of humor each day. I pray he was welcomed into Heaven by his family.

Thank you for honoring me by asking me to do the memorial. He was a neat guy and I can understand why you choose him to be the father of your child.
