Tragic loss...

My Mom and the whole King family were deeply saddened yesterday at the passing of Barbara Smith. Barbara was a close friend, confidant, housekeeper and driver to my Mom for more than 20 years. She had a big heart, loved helping others and was a loving Christian woman whose greatest joy was traveling to exotic locations. She worked long hours to be able to go on her yearly trips all over the world.

Barbara came to my Mom's house to prepare for our visit three weeks ago and shortly after entered the hospital. She was very ill, underwent emergency surgery and was in the ICU for the last three weeks. My Mom never got the chance to see her while she was in there. After a brief and tragic struggle, she passed away yesterday afternoon.

Barbara was 77 years old.

Goodbye, Barbara. You will be in our hearts always.
