My friendship with was special, I will never forget the day I found out that you had left this world to go home into the heavens. My heart fell apart. Because you were the first Facebook friend I had ever lost. My heart was broken, because I thought you and I would have a chance to meet before you left. I enjoyed our conversations, we would share together. The laughter between us and the shared complicated of the life. But supporting each other with prayers, laughter, and life in general talks about life, and family. I still miss my friend. May you now Rest In Peace in the heavens above. Share our laughter and happy events of all your friends on Facebook and family. Gee hope they have Facebook and computers in heaven ! Sending you a great friendship big Hug, always know you are not forgotten my friend. We love you my friend. 9/14/22

Oh my dear Karen I will miss your spirit on this earth so much!! We worked together for over 20 years and became immediate friends. We tried to turn you into a North sider, but Bridgeport was your home and held your heart. We shared our kids achievements and you were SO excited and proud when Shay was born and we've watched him grow together. When our employment situation fell apart, we continued our friendship on FB. Your wit and comments were always sought out! Karen, I love you and will miss you. I pray for the repose of your soul and look forward to the time when we meet again in heaven! The world is a bit less interesting today without my dear friend!

A sister is someone who loves you from the heart,
No matter how much you argue you cannot be drawn apart.
She is a joy that cannot be taken away,
Once she enters your life, she is there to stay.
I know I carry a piece of you with me...xo
