Karen was a gifted healer. She devoted her
life to helping others. We shared a special friend together, Jan Miller, who I am sure has greeted her with loving embrace as they both now have become our angels. You will be dearly missed sweet Karen. Give my love to Janny. Love you both.

To the family, you have my sincere condolences. When someone falls asleep in death (Ecclesiastes 9: 5,10) the memories we have of them become our most precious treasure. May those memories comfort you as well as Gods promise at John 6:40.
