I thought it was a real shame that political partisanship was brought up at her memorial service today instead of focusing solely on portraying this woman for what she stood for and believed. I pray that God will give her family strength and comfort to go on with their lives knowing that she is in a much better place with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

God smiled upon us when he blessed us with her grace, courage and dignity. Last night I could not resist the chance to say farewell to a fantastic and lovely lady. My daughter and I stood in line for over three hours in the cold and rain to show our respect for her. The world could not help but be a better place by having had her pass through here. While waiting in line to view her body I could not help but to think about the civil rights movement and people like Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Jr., Fred Gray, Sr., the Tuskegee Airmen, the Tuskegee Syphilis Study participants and countless others who made significant contributions to this country and the world. May God bless Coretta Scott King's soul and keep her close to Him. Lloyd Clements, Jr. Tuskegee Syphilis Study Descendant Coretta Scott King was truly an angel among us.

This is a sad day on many levels. She was the last obstacle the media took seriously between right wingers and their goal of co-opting MLK’s good name. This is a sad day on many levels.
