Suzy, I haven't seen your mom in many years and I just heard of her passing yesterday. I'm so sorry for your loss. I think Karen was a wonderful and kind lady. I enjoyed her company alot whenever we used to get together.Though there's comfort knowing she's with her Lord now, I pray you and your brothers find comfort from the loss of her presence. I met you when you were 16 years old. Your mom brought you to my home one night.God bless you.

Jim, Andrew, And Suzy,

It has been many years since I've seen your mom, I have many, many warm thoughts when I think of her. She was a wonderful woman, a joy to know. I will pray for all of you and hope you find comfort of knowing she is with the Lord and you'll see her again in heaven.
Love Susie
