Your legacy to our Country continues to live on.🙏🙏

    I feel Bernice and her family's heartache and pain. In 2021, my eldest brother passed away from cancer. I concur with Rev. King. "Our men shouldn't be afraid to take care of their health. Black brothers are a treasure. It's NOT macho to not do that. Sisters, let's push our brothers gently. These cancers are ferocious!! The things that are within our control, don't ignore that." It's important that our brother start to take care of themselves. Don't wait until something is WRONG." Ultimately, she spoke sound WISDOM.

I was so young when your Father was taken but I will never forget the impact and sorrow of that event . It is marked in my soul and part of my history that will always have a profound effect on life. Your Father was one of God's many wonders. He gave and made ultimate sacrifices😊 to help màke changes for others who didn't have voices to help bring human decency , better standards and respect into everyday life. I think of Him as one of God's Deciples❤or vessales put here to make changes needed. Your legacy is History, your entire family should be proud of and of your continuence of it . I for one am very. greatful for the benefits it has afforded me in my lifetime. Thank you!!! God bless you all

    Rest In Peace Dexter King, Gone, Not Forgotten!
    I send up prayers and condolences to the King Family with the hope that they will receive strength and comfort by way of the Lord's mighty hands during such a trying time. I hope that the family knows that Dexter's fight didn't end with him going down, he moved up. He didn't move out, he moved in. He didn't go down, he went through, Amen! He's now being held in the strong arms of Jesus Christ and his beloved Mother, Mrs. Coretta Scott King, Amen. He's now walking the Golden Streets, hand in hand with his Father's, God and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, Amen!
    Dexter, You Didn't Lose A Battle,
    You Gained Eternal Victory, Hallelujah & Amen!

    Lost my youngest sister to cancer last month. I've watched her suffer to the end. I felt so helpless. From one chemo treatment to another, all failed. Saw her just fade away as pain consumed her frail frame. She turned 43 on 12/1 and passed on 12/10. I feel their grief. Sending hugs. This is a tough road ahead but together you'll all be each other's strength.
