It's been a month since you've gone to be with the Lord! I still think about you every single day I wish you were here. You were one of the realest people I've ever met and one the best friends I've ever had! You're werr always there for me when I needed you, and that I will always be grateful for. I know you're no longer in pain and with the Lord but I wish you were still here! I know you would tell me to stop crying it'll be okay . I love you with all my heart and I know I'll see you one day! I'll keep the people that you loved the most in my prayers! Rest In The Arms Of The Lord my beautiful friend! I love you Karen.
Your friend,
