Dear Van:
The Lord is ever with His followers. He walks beside us in the dark times and leads our souls back to peace when it’s over. Our deepest sympathies are with you and the family.
God has called His faithful servant home.

Back in 2009 I was a resident at the Baltimore VA Hospital in Maryland, and I had the absolute pleasure of meeting and getting to know Mr. King. Before I left my program he gifted me a hand crafted Angel. This special gift has been a staple in my home for over 15 years. Every Christmas it comes out of storage along with my tree and garlands. It has now been 15 years since I received this gift and this Angel has traveled with me through 3 different moves across 4 states and now my children ask every year where the “angel Mr. King gave you” is, and look forward to its unboxing. I am so sorry to hear of his passing, but his memory lives on our home. Sometimes we do not realize the impact we have on the lives of others, and I wanted to share this heartfelt message in hopes that is it received with love and sincerity.
