Karen was a dear, sweet person who brought lots of joy, fun and laughter into the lives of everyone who had the honor to call her their friend. I've known her since 1st grade and have nothing less than wonderful memories of her from our school days in Eufaula. We lived in the same neighborhood for several years early on. She will certainly be missed. Prayers for the Lord to be with her husband, sons and family during this time of grief. Also, praise to God for blessing our lives through her friendship.
