Karen was such a likable person and had a great since of humor. I will never forget her comment of “Look, there’s Woopie”.
She enjoyed coming to “Halloween Theater” here in Hampton, especially when the show had performances of “Journey Tribute”.
This is a deep and sad loss for those who knew her. There are no words to describe it.
God now has welcomed her in his fold and will cherish her until we meet again.

Tommy, Thelma, Judy and Jaimie:
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
Romans 8:18

God will give you the strength to cope with all your pain and suffering. Know that we too will be there in your times of need.

I don't know if you will remember me, but Thelma used to baby-sit me and I used to live across the street from you. My fondest memory of my time with Karen was making peanut butter pinwheels in the kitchen and her always being like a big sister to me. I will never forget her teaching me cheers out in the front yard. My prayers are with you in your time of grief.
