“My deepest sympathy to Karen's family. I only met Karen twice but she was very upbeat and positive. Karen had a good personality and a fun laugh. Jody and Brenda often shared stories about growing up with Karen and loving to be with her. Karen will be missed very much but is in Christ's living arms...awaiting the time the family will again be united.”
