Dear Sweet Friend, I will miss you terribly, but I know we will walk the streets of gold one day laughing & talking about our Jesus. You're one of the kindest, gentlest souls I've ever known on earth. You loved your family so much. They are your greatest legacy, and you will forever live on inside of them. I know I will see you in Brittany's eyes, Nathan's determination, Gabe's smile, & Jacob's giggle. You will be missed by so many. Until we meet again dear friend, rest in the arms of Jesus. I love you. Karen❤

I have so much to say that I don't even know where or how to start. So I will just say that I was very blessed to have you as my mother for almost 25 years. You were my best friend, role model, and a huge inspiration to me. I am so proud of you, and I am very proud to have been by your side during this last year. God truly blessed me and the boys with a wonderful mother and dad with a great wife. We will always love and miss you. You will forever live in our hearts. I love you Mom.
