What can we say about C.C.? She had a personality larger than life. She was kind and loving always had an open door for us. A smile that lit up a room. The matriarch of a large family that meant the world to her. We will miss her physical presence but we know that her spirit will continue to live. We don’t have to look very far to see her spirit alive and well in everyone of her children and all she knew. Thank you C.C. for being part of our lives. Until we meet again. Continued love and peace as we know you are not far from us. ‘Til we meet again, Jerry and Michael

Condolences from Ken King. CC was our next door neighbor on Jessome Street from the day she was born. We fondly remember her mother, we called her Miss Cary, and all her brothers and sisters. I had a great visit with CC about 5 summers ago where we spent the whole afternoon laughing and talking about when we grew up. She was best friends with my older brother Tommy for all time. The whole King family will be missing CC.
I am truly sorry to hear about your lost. My deepest sympathy to you and your family during this difficult time. Take care.
