Dear Ken and family,

Jack and I were so sorry to hear that Karri passed away. When I think of Karri, I remember how brave she always was, knowing that her life would be short because of her illness. So matter of fact about something so scary, yet she had the faith and determination to live her life to it's fullest. I enjoyed the many times we talked in the foyer at church, laughed and yes, maybe gossiped a little. Karri was a blessing in all our iives and she'll be greatly missed. Know that you are all in our hearts and prayers. Jack and Janey Nichols
