Our mother Karen was a very special person with the biggest heart for her family and special friends she kept close to life. I will remember the funny times we shared and the way she made the holidays feel so special with gatherings she help at her and daddy's house. The morning talks over coffee and our little fun trips shopping together. She gave the best welcoming hugs coming and going and she was just a funny loving lady. Her faith in Jesus was strong and she always told me to give it to Jesus when times got rough. I will remember her and daddy dancing in the kitchen when a song came on they both loved and this was often. Mommy adored her sister in laws in Virginia who were more like blood sister's. I will remember our vacations with her at my aunt Reda and Uncle Wayne's cabin with their late night talks on the back porch and the way they laughed together along with our visits to Aunt Janet's and uncle Franks house and yard selling together along with the funny laughing they did together. I remember how mommy would say how beautiful Aunt Mag is and and her love for all her beautiful fun nieces. I could go on and on. Mom you will never be forgotten. You loved us all so much and I thank God for you being my mom. Your precious heart will always be remembered.
