Dear Andy and Briggs,
We are so sorry to hear about Karen's passing. I'm so thankful she loved the Lord and that as Briggs said this is not goodbye-but rather see you soon! What a wonderful hope we have as believers in Christ that we will see our loved ones in heaven again someday! Karen's personality was bigger than life itself and she was so kind and compassionate! We will always cherish the fun memory of having y'all over and enjoying yelling Roll Tide together! After that day, I always laughed and could hear her saying "shut up Gary" in my head! She would text me in games after that day and tell me to light the bama candle and her favorite words were "that's unbelievable!"
We will miss her smile and I personally will miss her text! We will be praying for you both in the days and weeks ahead that God will be your strength and that His peace will comfort your hearts!
Love,
Audra, John, Hannah, Hayden and Hally Headley
