Your loving heart has ceased to beat Your work on earth is done. The flowers we place upon your grave May wither and decay. But our Love for you who sleep in Christ Will never fade away. Where as the mighty God in His own infinite wisdom, has seen fit to enter our family and take one of our beloved Sisters. We, the Tippecanoe County bow our heads in humble submission to a wise God who knows and doeth all things well.
With love and high esteem, we offer the following resolution: We the members of the Tippecanoe County extends our sincere sympathy to Mother King, Cynthia, Fred, Steve, Michael, and the Family of our beloved sister. May you find comfort in each loving memory and peace through your faith in the only wise and almighty God. We also resolve to carry on the work which she faithfully served until her health failed, which led to her eternal home going. Finally, be it resolved that we join the family in this time of grief yet we find solace in Scriptures: II Timothy 4:7- I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. No matter how difficult the fight seemed, she kept fighting. One thing she knew being with Christ. Jesus, the fight she fought was worth it all. Be it therefore resolved that a copy of this resolution be given to the family and copies be placed with the Tippecanoe County records.
