I never had the honor of
meeting you Karen Faye Lattin but Ive been blessed with having your grandaughter be the mother of my two granchildren Aden and Ava. Marissa spoke to me often and lovingly about you and how you and your husband raised her. You did a wonderful job.Im sure that you shine thru the loving lady and great mom she has become. I will always regret not having the opportunity to meet you but I truly feel as though Ive known you forever. May you rest in peace till the day we all come home to meet.

WE LOVE YOU

To my Mother, my Grandmother, my Best Friend,

I miss you so much and I feel empty without you. If I could give both my lungs just to have you for one more day I would.

Aden and Ava miss you so much. Aden still asks for you. I know you are with Grandpa and that comforts me but life just is not right without you.

I miss your laugh and your sarcasm and your STRENGTH. You always knew how to liven a crowd. You were always my rock and I am so blessed that you and Grandpa adopted me and raised me into the woman I am now. I do not know if the pain will ever go away. If only I could talk to you one more time. I listen to your voicemail message often to hear your voice. You know I actually miss you yelling at me about something :) You always knew what was best for me.

Someday I know you will Welcome me Home and until then I will stay strong and cherish all the memories I have.

I love you Mom, Grandma, MY BEST FRIEND. You are the only person that truly knows me and your the only person I always knew I could count on.

OOOXXXXX. By the way Ava is practically running around and Aden still sings your black and white western songs.

Love,
Marisa Lattin

The Senior Patrol will never be the same without you.
