Help needed

On Friday, Sept. 26, Merry and Sam King lost their son, Stoney.

He was a kind and gentle young man.

Merry and Sam do not have the capability to fund the services needed.

A Stoney King Memorial Fund has been established at the Bank of America in an attempt to raise $2000 by Friday. If 200 people give $10 each, the family will have one less heartache and can lay their son to rest.

When times are so economically hard, the horror of the loss coupled with having a son in limbo while trying to figure out how to pay for services is overwhelming.
