‘Constant kindness’: Community remembering beloved teacher killed in Hurricane Helene

ROANOKE, Va. (WDBJ/Gray News) - A community in Virginia is continuing to clean up after Hurricane Helene while honoring a beloved teacher who was among those who lost their life.

On Monday, a moment of silence was held in remembrance of Holly King, a Montgomery County teacher.
