Nancy and I are so sad to hear of Karen's passing. She and Carroll were special to us. My mother Dora especially appreciated that they would stop at the house in Hutto to visit often; especially during the years when Kurt and I were not around. They also visited her often during her last hospital stay. As I said, Karen and Carroll were special to our family. Wishing all of the family Peace+.

Karen Childers and her family were neighbors just down the road from the DuBose family in Waelder. We grew up together. I was at their house many times after my mother died in 1961. It was one of the "home away from home" while my dad worked. They helped get me through tough times. Karen was the oldest, with Valerie, and then Max. Fun times and now sad times. I was glad to see her in November and December when I preached at First Baptist Church in Waelder. Sad for all who loved her, but she is in a better place now. I know Valerie and Max will miss her. Max took Karen to treatments for cancer many times. He did what he could do to help her get well. Well done, Max. Praying for them and all of us who will miss her, but one day we will all be gathered around the Throne of God and worshipping Hime together. Loved you sweet, Karen.
