I left message several weeks ago. But feel the need to say again . That Karol was a Proverbs 17-17 friend. A Freind that loved at All times & I miss her unwavering faith in our Lord and Savior. No matter how great her pain. Now she is restored & in no pain. Hallelujah

Karol was a dear friend and
A Pastor.
I just found out about her going home today.
I've been trying to call because I haven't talked to her since just before Christmas.
I was privileged to take care of her when she had her kidney removed.
At that time I got to meet Barbara when she came.
I have many memories of her love for Jesus and Spending time with the Father ment the world to her.
Most of all I will remember her leading praise and worship in Gy.
It's alway been when I hear certain songs I hear her singing them such a beautiful voice and her fingers would roll across the piano like water so beautiful . What a blessing to have known her.
Steve and I love her

I remember Karol as a sweet and loving person, who was a great missionary for Jesus Christ. I´m so thankful still for our children Michelle and Scott. I miss our singing together in church more than I can say. I may have remarried, but she was my first love.

I have known Karol since the early 70s went to ST,Mathews in Killeen TX where she was secretary, she became my true lasting friend, always willing to listen. A true friend loves at all times , Proverbs 17-17, we text often & I will miss her God Morning Scriptures. she was truel'y humbly to the core, I met both Scott & Michelle years ago and heard Michelle sing for the lord , she had beautifull voice , I actually had a tape of her singing, but lost it. Karol suffered lot of pain last couple years , & was ready to go home to her Saviour, I will miss our contact greatly .but know that now she has a brand new body free from pain, My sympathy to her children & grandchildren they lost a great mother & grandmother, May the Lord give you comfort.
