Tim, I am so sorry to hear that your parents aren't here any longer. When we loose our hold on people who mean so much in our lives it can really help open our hearts and eyes to the beauty to behold in how much they meant to us and how wonderful life is. How wonderful to hear of their long lives, their long love and that they were each other in the end. My best to you, Bonnie and the boys. Love you all.

Hi Tim, I'm so glad that you, Ken, and I were able to pull together, as I knew we would. Losing Mom and Dad, though not entirely unexpected, is hard, but the loving family they created will always endure. Love, Your brother, Rick

Dearest Tim and Bonnie, I just read the article and am so sorry. I know the saddness you are feeling. You always spoke so lovenly about your parents and how you feared losing them. My heart is with you in this time of saddness. Please let me know when you get back to Salem.

Partners in life, partners in heaven. What a wonderful story of love and devotion. This is not a loss, only a separation as in time you will be with them again.

This is sad news, Tim. You will miss them, but the time you were with them will stay in your memory forever.

Tim King July 13, 2007 8:01 pm (Pacific time)

Thanks all of you. I appreciate the support very much. I also look forward to the day that we do publish obituaries. Never does one understand the importance of that until they face a moment like this. My dad fell in April, a hard fall on an uneven walk going up to his door. At 89, it was just too much for him to fully recover from. Toward the end, dad's lungs were filling with liquid from congenital heart failure, he was a proud man in an uncomfortable state. As we were worried about my dad's recovery, my mom became ill and suddenly began losing consciousness when she stood up. In both cases, their blood pressure was falling when they stood. So, my mother passed away with my nephew holding her hand at 7:07 Monday night. Tuesday morning at 7:14 my father passed away with my nephew David holding his hand. We laid them to rest today. Thank you all for your kind thoughts and words.

i'm sorry for your loss. it's obvious that they only wanted to be together.my great-grandparents died within two months of each other after almost 70 years of marriage. i hope i will be blessed with that kind of love after so many years!

Lisa July 13, 2007 4:22 pm (Pacific time)

Since this news publication doesn't offer a section for obituaries, I would consider this as an obit rather than a news story. That being said, the reasons for their deaths are not required information for the reader. Mind your own business, "Just Me". To the editor, please send my condolences to the family.

Love until the end.... July 13, 2007 3:28 pm (Pacific time)

kinda like the movie notebook! what a happy ending! To go up to heaven together! God blessed then and God bless their family in this time of morn!

---

Anne July 13, 2007 2:55 pm (Pacific time)

I'm sorry to hear of your loss, Tim. It sounds as though your parents were blessed with long lives full of love.

---

Just Me July 13, 2007 1:17 pm (Pacific time)

Since the story author clearly has much inside information on the details, I'm curious how the two came to die and/or how they died so close together.
