My thoughts and prayers go out to you all. I am so sorry for your loss. I don't know what else to say. I will miss Karen's beautiful flower garden. I learned so much from her about flowers. I used to stand out there and talk to her and learn from her, while she spent countless hours in that huge garden. I can only dream of having a flower garden of that magnitude some day. I will miss seeing her when I go to my Parent's house.
With Sympathy,
Jennifer Harris

George, Billy, Annie,
I am very sorry for loss. I don't know what else to say. Your mom was a wonderful neighbor my entire life. My love of flowers and gardening is due to Karen's gorgeous Flower Garden. I can only dream of having
one of that magnitude some day. I will miss seeing her in that garden when I go to my parent's house. I used to walk over there and ask her about so many of her flowers. She taught me so much about flowers and how to garden them. I am thinking of you and if there is anything I can do for any of you Please let me know.
With Sorrow,
Jennifer Harris

I will miss Karen more than I can say. We worked together closely for 10 years. She was very "quiet" but didnt miss a trick. Her family was very important to her as well as her pets. My condolences to the family.
