Karen and I had many special memories. One of the first that she made me laugh and shocked me was when she jumped out of my car and ran to an empty parking spot to save for us to park in. She also loved getting her hair permed. And she wanted it done while she was pregnant. The smell was so bad it was choking both of us out of the house. We thought she was going to pass out from it. We have had many laughs from that day since then. We loved going shopping together. She loved going to Trader“s Village and hanging out. We all loved going to Canton for first Monday. Our aunt and uncle set up there and lived out there. So we would stay the weekend with them. She loved cooking and keeping her home spotless. And loved her family. She is going to be deeply missed.
I love you Karen
