Karen, when I was a little girl you would let me come sit with you at church. I can remember you always having candy and a warm hug. Even years down the road we would check in on each other. Thank you for your kind words and love. You will never be forgotten♥

I’ve known you my entire life because you were my mom’s best friend. We didn’t think of you as a friend, but as our family! You were always so kind and loving and always kept in touch throughout the years on Facebook with positive and encouraging words! Mom, my sister, and I will miss you dearly, but know that you are in a much better place and we will see you again one day!
