I worked for a temporary time at Esis & Karen left a huge impact on me like no other manager there. She believed in me & encouraged me to do my best! I'm deeply saddened by her passing. I wish to hear & see her face one last time! She was a true mentor & mother-like figure to me! I know she is at peace & resting with our heavenly father! But it still hurt to hear of her untimely passing. I will always remember her positive & vibrant spirit. May she continue to rest in peace!

To the Williams / Walker family. Karen was such a beautiful person, with a loving heart beyond measure. No one was a stranger to her. Each time I stepped into Bethel Community we made a point of hugging each other. "Psalms 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." Family know that Karen is back home with her Heavenly Father and watching over you all.
May God bless you and keep you and may he make his face shine upon you and give you peace.

This is really difficult. I have known the Walker family all my life. So pleasant to be in the midst of them. I will really miss Karen. She gave the best hugs and would just give me a look across the room and we would bust out laughing. She was 11 years older than me and never treated marjorie and i like kids. She would laugh and kid around with us like we were on her level. When i was a little girl I couldnt wait to hang out with karen and marjorie after church functions. She treated my kids and family like they were her family. Just an awesome woman that will be missed. We all are praying for the williams and walker families. God bless.

On 2/11/2023 I lost my friend , my office prayer partner. There are no words to Express the lost of Karen. She always had a smile for anyone. Who give anything she could. My heart is so broken as I remember our last prayer and lasf talk. But I know that my friend is resting in perfect peace. I know that she has her wings. I know GOD has said come rest with me my child.
PSALM16/8 I HAVE SET THE LORD ALWAYS BEFORE ME, BECAUSE MY RIGHT HAND, I SHALL NOT BE MOVES. ONE FOOT ON THE ROCK AND MY NAME ON THE ROLL. ( On of the last messages we shared) Rest In Peace My Friend. Love you more.
