“We laid him to rest this morning. And in the Jewish faith, they do it very quickly, so you have almost no time to process for me,” she said in the interview on Wednesday. “I’m still processing.”
However, she is not the only one still processing, as she said ‘the whole family’, including ‘the boys’, are still sweeping. King and Shawn shared the sons Chance (21) and Cannon (20). King also has a son, Larry Jr. (59), with ex-wife Annette Kaye.

However, Shawn and the tribe were able to find a sweet way to pay tribute to their late patriarch.
“All of us, it was just family, we carried Larry’s braces, each of us,” she revealed. “And it was beautiful, loving … just perfect, just perfect. It was family. There was no showbiz, no, none of that.”

“Death is perhaps the great equalizer, I think,” she shared. “You know, if you experience it with people we really like, all the other noise and nonsense that can be there, it just goes away and the family goes close to each other. And that’s what happened. You know, it was beautiful. “
