I'm so sorry to hear about Karen. My twin and I went to Southern Middle School with them. I believe we were the only set of twins at that time in school. My prayers are with your family and especially Sharon because there's no closer bond or relationship that twins have and I can't imagine the sorrow or emptiness she may feel

To my beautiful cousin, It's still hard to believe that you are gone. Sometimes I still have to catch myself and ask why? but then I know that God is in control. I'm going to miss you especially around the Holidays. I love you Karen. We are fighters! Grandmother Chandler was a strong woman and raised strong girls...so I'm going to continue to pray for strength for your mom, dad and sisters. We will get through this because we are Winners! Love you.

Its so hard to write this, I'm still in shock and disbelief. Over this past week, memories of our pre-teen years keep flooding my mind, Karen & Sharon were the sisters I didn't have. Family I know this is beyond difficult. For those that knew/loved Karen, this is soooo unreal. Family yall KNOW I love yall, even though we don't see or talk to each other often. I love yall. I know these next few weeks, months & years will be challenging and hard sometimes to get through, but remember to HOLD On to God's unchanging hand. And I will be here ANYTIME you need me...My prayer is for peace and strength for all who are left to mourn Karen.... R.I.P Karen *gone but never 4gotten*

The word teaches us that precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. God is so awesome and I know that Karen is safely in his arms shouting victory in the name of Jesus. Our families are forever linked thru my daughter in-law, my grandchildren and great grandchildren. We stand together and we stand beside you in love, unity and support. The song writer says "what a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and grief to bear, what a priviledge to carry everything to God in prayer." Our prayers will sustain you and hopefully provide you comfort. God bless each of you.
