To Clifford Paulson and his family. I am very sorry for your loss. I hope you find comfort in the good memories you have of your mother. I never met your mother but I have known her son Clifford Paulson for 20 years. He is a wonderful young man and Karen Elizabeth Whisman must have been a wonderful woman to have raised such a kind person. I pray for your family and wish you peace and comfort in your time of mourning.
