She will be sorely missed. Her smile and lively energy brightened every room she was in. Her determination to push on, despite what seemed to be a limitation, was awe inspiring. Her family’s sacrifice, love, and care was more than anyone can imagine. It is a very difficult time, I know. Rest assured she is free from the limitations her earthly body imposed on her. She was a beautiful soul here on earth, and now she is a gorgeous angel in heaven. Our hearts go out to her family. We love you and send heart felt hugs. Prayers to all for comfort and peace.
I am so sorry to hear of Karen’s passing. I can’t imagine the pain of losing a child. She sounds like such a wonderful person I wish I had had a chance to know her. God most have needed an angel.
Bob, Maurren and Family
So sorry for your loss of Karen. Your entire family is in our prayers – may God give you comfort and peace.
