    Our sympathy to the family.Janice's mother was our aunt. Mable's sister being our mother, Edith Baldwin King. It is amazing how much Pearl Ruth and Janice looked like Aunt Mable. Visits were few because we didn't have a car, but when the telephone was installed Mother and Aunt Mable talked all the time. Praying for comfort and peace - The family of Hobart and Edith King, Kings Ridge
