I am so sad to hear this. She was a brave and gracious lady.

Another milestone passed, and another notable figure in our history passes on. She is one of those faces that those of us who grew up during the sixties will never forget.

RIP. May the Lord be with her family now as they deal with this death.

May she rest in peace. I hope the nation does not forget about all the good that she did following the death of her husband as well as all the good that MLK did for the nation.

I shall say a prayer for her family.

Mrs. King showed the world how to be dignified, respected, and a lady. The world will be a little less gracious without her. May her family know the peace which surpasses all understanding, as they mourn.

A Prayer from the Greek Orthodox Memorial Service
 
Lord, give rest to the soul of Your departed servant Coretta in a place of light, in a place of repose, in a place of refreshment, where there is no pain, sorrow, and suffering. May your memory be eternal, dear sister, for you are worthy of blessedness and everlasting memory.

I attended an Aretha Franklin concert in Atlanta several years ago. Mrs. King was in the audience. I was honored to be in her presence and share the experience of hearing the Queen of Soul sing "Georgia on my Mind."

R.I.P., Mrs. King

I just got a tear in my eye when I read that. I was in the audience when she started everyone singing, "We Shall Overcome". It's a moment which I will never, ever forget!

I am SO glad that President Bush mentioned her right at the top of the State of the Union Adress - she deserves every bit of respect we can give her!

May she rest in peace.
