Not sure what to say?

There are some special people who are never forgotten. Karen was one of them. It is hard to believe that she went to be with our Lord 4 years ago. So many bad things have happened even in our beloved country. I tell my husband how in a way, as much as I miss my beloved "greatest generation" parents terribly, I'm glad that they didn't have to go through their friends or even themselves having Covid. Karen gave so much of herself and tried to help so many people, she would have been especially...

It seems impossible that Karen, this Godly, kind sweet, beautiful friend has now been gone for 2 years. I am a better person for having known her. She was so good to everyone and I believe she was a "empath" after seeing her comfort so many residents at the Senior venues where we entertained. She was so very talented and was always willing to play a funny character at Celebration Singers from VHUMC. I know that she is looking down from heaven on her family which she loved so much.

Has it really been a year since precious Karen went home to heaven? I was not a member of Vestavia Hills United Methodist Church but had been singing with the Celebration Singers for several years before I met Karen.

Thanks to Karen Webb and her family. Due to you and Tom, I have become a stronger Christian. Christian's Place Mission is better because of your faithful dedication to help our clients and encouragement you would bring. God was in your face, heart and soul. God take care of your faithful servant. Karen you and Geneal Rankin save me a place by the river where Granny is.

Karen was one of only 3 women I've known whom I have considered truly spiritual. From the moment I met her at Celebration Singers, she was "magic". I never heard her say an unkind word about anyone. I am a better person for having known Karen who was one of the greatest ladies I've ever had the fortune of knowing. I will never forget her. Joan Schilleci Brooks

we will miss her beautiful smile...her beautiful heart and square dancing with her.

I don't ever remember seeing Karen without a smile. She is the best example of finding "joy" through adversity! Such a wonderful Christian example her life has been! I will miss Karen! My love, thoughts and prayers are with all of you!
