Important Announcement Regarding Deaths in King County
Families and their Funeral Service Providers, including Barton Family Funeral Service, are experiencing significantly delays in obtaining death certificates from King County while King County implements an electronic system called EDRS. (You may read about it HERE)
We have been using the EDRS system for several years for deaths occurring in other counties such as Snohomish County. We know the system well and are trying to help physicians and hospitals as they make the transition. Because King is such a large county, the transition is taking longer than we have experienced in the past, and unfortunately we are all experiencing considerable delays in obtaining death certificates.
County and State officials are very cooperative and are working diligently to facilitate the change. We ask for your patience and assure you that we are doing everything possible to meet your expectations.
I met Connie at Kirkland Lodge. She was a wonderful person. I always looked forward to seeing her each day when I came to work. There were nights that I filled in as a resident assistant and this is where I learned more about Connie. I would wait for the call that she was ready for bed. We had our routine; goofing around and joking with each other. Did anyone know that she hated her pillow? I told her that I would trade with her anytime she was ready.
She didn’t like anyone fussing over her, I did it anyways.
We both lost a love one at a young age, and would talk about it some. Connie was a great support when needed.
I will miss her very much.
