Karen Coleman was a wonderful friend. She was loving, caring, gracious, trustworthy. She would tell you the truth with love when most people won't. She was faithful to God and trusted in His word. We talked, laughed and cried together. I will never be able to replace her nor would I want to. I miss you Karen. I love you.
