We love you Stewart and will miss your smile and sense of humor! We will think of you often and talk about the times of fishing on the Chesapeake Bay, family reunions, 4th of July celebrations, baseball games and muskrat hunting and all the other wonder memories that we have of our times and years together. You will remain always on our hearts and in our thoughts.
John 14:1-3: Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely on God; believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely also on Me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places (homes). If it were not so, I would have told you; for I am going away to prepare a place for you. And when I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also.

I had just asked my sister about Poo King last weekend. Poo King and his wife Cathy were such a dear friends of my mother Gloria, Hampton, and they always looked out for each other. Poo King and his wife were such good people. Cathy, my prayers and condolences go out to you and your family. May Poo King rest in peace in the arms of our Lord, amen
