To my sister, my best friend, I will miss you, but I know deep in my heart that you are with mother and father and thats what keeps me going. Knowing that they are taking care of you now is comforting to me. You will be missed and the love we had for each other will never die for our hearts will go on.

Your baby sister Julie

To my sister- I remember the days when we laughed and when we cried. The times we tried to entertain our children. Our college days. Trips to the doctor, and the hours we spent on the phone. I will sadly miss you, but you are in good hands now, GODSPEED KAREN.

Dear family and friends of Karen,

We were so lucky to have Karen touch our lives. She was 100% with each one, invested in our lives and who and what we cared for and about. I miss her smile, her way of singing our names, her love of life and generosity of spirit. In the "big picture" she was a huge contributor to all that is important to God. I grieve deeply with you. Please know, dear family of Karen, I will be praying for your comfort.

Sincerely,

Donna

To my Karakins ( Karen ) who will be missed deeply. My prayers and deepest sympathy to the entire family. God has a plan for each and everyone of us and our Karen has fulfilled God's plan for her. Though we may not be able to understand at this time the great loss there is one thing we can be thankful for is for each one of us who was blessed to share in a part of Karen's life. Karen will be missed but never forgotten for she has made a deep impression on everyone's life she came in contact with.
