    Many individuals do not know that Yolanda King passed. The media did not broadcast her death. Still folks would like to have known about or still do. She was a young woman;tell me, how did she pass? Was she ill? Anyone who knows, please inform us inquiring members of this web. Thanks.

    What a blessing to carry on the King tradition. The children were said they would never marry or had chilren when their father passed. I know Berneice King to be a minister,Dexter is still single. My prayers still go out to the family who had surive under tremendous odds.
