Karen, I am sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of spending time at your home when we were in high school. (the first time I ever gathered eggs!). Your mom was so sweet and kind to me. It has been years since we have seen each other but you continue to be in my thoughts. Having lost my father this spring I know the pain you are going through. Take Care.

Dear Reta Ann and Karen,
I am so sorry I can not be there for the services. You both have meant so much to me growing up as Karen you were my "very best friend" and Irene was like my second mom. I have so many fond memories playing at your home and Irene was always so good to me. Karen and Ed...I have especially been thinking about your next trip to Arlington and will pray for you both to get through all of this. Take care I will call you later when all is done. LOVE Debra

I will always cherish the memories of Uncle Board and Aunt Irene. Family get togethers were so much fun. From playing in the barn to rooke cards, cook outs, working in tobacco and fixing up hog meat. Those were the good ole days. They will always hold a special place in my heart. May God be with both of you and your families. May he bring you peace and blessings for always being there taking such good care of your mom.
Love and Prayers

Reta & Karen,
We have many memories of the fun times we shared and family get togethers and sleep overs. Aunt Irene will be sadly missed. I know as time goes on, you will miss so much going home to mom's. I still do!
God heals our wounds and gives us great memories. Someday, we will all be together again. You all are in our prayers and thoughts!
God Bless you all!
