    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.

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.

When I think of the legacy and sacrifices your Father and family made for all of us forgotten people in this country it brings a smile and hope that His Dream will continue. 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

It was enlightening to learn that he shared a similar gift of vision and brilliance passed on by Dr. King, your valiant father. Sincere condolences to you and the family. Knowing he passed with a smile on his face is heartwarming. REST IN POWER Dexter Scott King.
