Karen Collins

Still think of you and miss you! A gentle soul, with a giving heart.

Mom, I love you. Thank you for you. You are part of me, and thus, Chris and Cody, too. You're compassion for others is instilled for the next couple generations, at least. What I have to say to you will be said in my prayers and my thoughts. thank you for you, mom. Heaven got lucky. All My Love, Cody

It is sad to think that Karen is not there any more to discuss the children and grandchildren. She did love them all. She gave love freely and did not deny any. Peace be with you.

Heather,
Though we only spoke briefly on the phone a few nights ago, I feel as if I've known you for some extended period of time.
I told You that I had met Karen after coming to Virginia to care for my mother. Well, they are now together in a much better place. I will always remember your mother as being kind and thoughtful towards mine. Please feel free to call and converse if, and when, the need should arise. May God bless you with peace and comfort through and during these...

My sister. I will always love her and think of the times we shared.
We laughed at most things and got each other through all of the hard times.
I do know this...she wanted nothing more than to be with our parents and her youngest daughter Shannon. She is with them now in the loving arms of our Lord and Savior.
She is experiencing a love, joy and peace that we on earth can't even imagine.
I am going to miss her more than words can say BUT I will see her again when the Lord...

To the family
God bless each and every one of you.
Karen will always have a special place in our hearts.Remember one day at a time and keep God first.We loved her but God needed her more.

Karen was a special kind of lady, she was always giving something of herself & her home. She was a second mom to me & I am truly Broken hearted over this loss for myself, Heather & her Grandchildren, who will now never get those wonderful hugs & hear that lovely laughter. She was unique!

I love you dearly Momma and cannot find the words to express what I am feeling......I know you are at peace and that is what matters most.

Our sincere condolences to Karen's family. We know she will be sadly missed, but will not suffer anymore. Jim often spoke of all the wonderful times with Virginia, Hix, and family. May Karen rest in peace.
Jim and Jeanne Cox
