Carolyn King Retired in 2009
Carolyn King has finally decided to retire after working 29 years for the Alexandria Public School Systems, there was a retirement ceremony held in June 2009. August 1, 2009 her family and co-workers got together and gave her a retirement party. She plans on visiting family and friends and just relaxing for a while until she decides how she wants to spend her time. She has already joined a senior’s group that some of her friends are members of, her first trip was to the casinos and she said everyone had a great time but no one won any money.
We are blessed and honored that God chose us to be her children and grandchildren, we want everyone to know how much we love her, at times we may forget to express to her how much she means to us, but the kindness that is in her heart and the compassion that she has makes her a remarkable woman. We don’t mind sharing her with others, she is a strong black woman that teaches valuable lessons about life and the courage and strength that she has shown is truly a Mother’s love. She continues to be a consistent source of strength and support to us and others, we know that we are blessed daily and we are going to enjoy having her in our lives while we can, because tomorrow is not promised to anyone.
So when you see her just congratulate her, because she has earned every blessing that has and are going to come her way!!!
One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is Love.
