Katy, Taylor, Shirley, and family,
I cannot express enough how sorry I am for your loss. I was so saddened to hear this devastating news. I always loved Karen. Growing up I always wanted to be around her and tag along places with her and her friends. She was just always fun to be around. And I know that she definitely loved you and Taylor so much and her grandchildren, too. She will surely be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with you all and may God wrap his loving arms around you tightly through this difficult time and all the days ahead. Love you all and praying for you!

My heart broke when I heard this. Karen and I grew up together in Sugar Grove. We used to dress up in our mom’s clothes to play. We were the best at making up new games along with some other neighborhood friends in a big fields beside my grandmothers. We also explored the cave across the road from us and constantly played in the creek. We also invented a game called Apples where we played Fort and threw apples at boys. There was a tiny store up the road called Blondies that we were allowed to walk to for our stash of candy. She had a beautiful smile and the kindest heart. I have sweet and funny memories with her but I will miss hers so much.
