Karen I always loved your smile and attitude about life and I remember reading books to your beautiful daughter when she was a toddler, so much life in her eyes! You were high spirited and Tough, always admired that, and strong willed and committed. I remember when you and Clifford stayed at my Dad’s house and he made you guys breakfast. I will say goodbye with the thoughts in my mind that God will reunite you with your family, and you and your loving daughter will once again brighten the room with your smiles!

I was very sorry to hear you had passed. Now your free spirit is with your daughter and husband…forever free, forever young, forever happy and forever together. I pray that the good Lord will keep your family and extended family at peace and that they know that you all will be together again one day.
