Thank you all for attending this celebration of my sisters life.
I am honored to be the brother of such a beautiful person who is in front of us this morning.
I will do my best to get through this reading that I wrote in her memory.
This is my big Sister

Our sister, our mother and our friend so divine, who always put others ahead of her in line.
She gave us the strength to be who we are, and her love never stopped flowing no matter near or far.
She sat at her table with pen in hand often writing a note you would fully understand.
Her cards would show up unexpectedly in the mail, they would lift our spirits without fail.
She was the Martha Stewart of her house and den and always took the time to invite a dear friend.
My sister always planned her shopping ahead, your Christmas was bought in July, she said
She loved her children and grand kids with all her heart, so much that she was sad when they were apart.
She had a will to extend and to provide and she did this always with a ton of pride.
She gave and gave and never asked for it back, with an abundance of love there was never a lack.
So with heavy hearts we bid you goodbye, off into the winds like a bird you will fly.
Someday we will meet and be joined again, but until then we will miss you our sister, our mother, our friend!
When I would stop over I would park where it was sunny, When I opened the door I will miss her words Hi Honey.

Love Your Brother Chris

We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts are with the entire family at this time of grief. Karen was the most wonderful, caring woman. We loved her so much and are thankful to have had the chance to know her. We have many wonderful memories! I once read this saying and I liked it so much...it said, cry today because she is no longer here, smile tomorrow because she was. Karen...We love you and will miss you very much.

Love,
The Wrona Family
