“Kiss an Angel”
It is so hard to believe that she is gone and I feel bad because I haven’t seen her for three years may the Lord hold her in his arms and hold the family also prayers for all you will be missed Karen
I’ve known Karen since I was a little girl. I’m friends with her kids. She was always so funny and energetic. She loved life and she loved her family! She was an awesome mom and grandma. She loved all of us and our kids like they were her own. She will be so missed! All my love to you Dana, Anita and DJ.
I know how much love this family felt for her, and her departure seems far too soon. She was a blessed woman to have such a great family and to be surrounded by love and laughter in this life. I hope it brings comfort to know she is at peace and now surrounded by God’s love. Grief is hard, but it is also how you feel love when someone is gone. Remember the love and cherish it. She was a special woman and will always have a place in your hearts.
Danny and Tom and family,
Ken and I send our condolences . Although we did not have the privilege of meeting your mom, she sounds like a very lovable person.
Our thoughts and prayers are will all at this time.
Linda and Ken
Love you and going to miss you
I am so sorry for your loss! Praying for you all! ❤️
Bless your heart Karen, rest well. ❤️💐
Karen and her family and my family have been connected for over 5 decades! She and her family lived next door to my Grandma for years. Shirley, Martin, Patty, Karen and Thelma were always there when you needed them. Karen was my Aunt Marsha’s age and they were the typical next door girlfriends, sharing clothes and rolling their hair up with orange juice cans! Karen was always at all the parties Nan and Mom had at the house and I remember her dancing and laughing and always having a great time! Karen always had a super sweet way about her and always made you laugh or was the first to laugh at something. What great and nice things to be remembered for… my heart goes out to Thelma, Dana, Anita, DJ and all the rest of her family. I know she’s proud of each and every one of you! You’re her “living legacies”. Now, Sissy and Karen are together again laughing and dancing in the stars forever. Shine on!
Oh my memories with Karen ! In her old Falcon she turned the odometer a couple of times! Gail, Karen and I were always running around, what a good person, she loved her kids and grandkids. I haven’t seen her in awhile but every Feb. 3rd I would say out loud “Happy Birthday Karen”. RIP friend!
Karen was always fun to be around she was always laughing it seemed like when we were in school. Rest In Peace Karen
Love you Aunt Karen and will miss you dearly.❤️RIH
