Dear Jami,
I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom. From the day I met her, I thought she was an incredible lady.
I think of you often....keeping you in my prayers.

Aunt Karen was a wonderful person, and she will be greatly missed! We are sorry that we can NOT be there today with the family, but Billy was involved in a serious truck accident last Friday. He will be fine, but it will take some time to recuperate. It gives us comfort to think of Aunt Karen with Poppy and Granny White and my Mom, Bonnie, in Heaven...Aunt Karen can tell them all about Delaney, Courtney, & Dalton! We will be praying for you! (John 11:25&26)

Karen~
Oh how we loved you here in Florida, you made us laugh at ourselves! We admired how you scouted out those great bargins before we could find them (I will remember you as the queen of "cool" shoes)and the pool will never be the same kid! Hope you are looking down on all of us with a smile. You came into our lives for such a short time but made a lasting place in our hearts. I know you are a happy camper now with our Lord! love~~Patty

My deepest sympathies to all of Karen's family. Karen and I graduated from East together and even though I haven't seen Karen in many years, it seems like just yesterday we were all walking the halls at East to our next class. Beautiful memories will sustain you all during this time of sorrow.
