Dear Family, It has been 5 yrs. and i only discovered karen's obituary. I am so sorry for your loss. Karen was my neighbor and dear friend for 18 years. I miss her so very much. She was always so good to me. I gave her a crystal owl to remember me and i still remember the beautiful smile it brought to her face. Blessings to all of you.

I can't believe she is gone. Karen was my best friend and my heart is broken. She was the most kind and thoughtful lady and I will miss her forever.

I am so sorry for your loss. I pray that God give you peace and hope for the future. The Bible clearly speaks of a hope of a resurrection. Jesus said in John 5:28,29 that he would call and all those in the graves would come forth and that some of them will gain everlasting life. In Revelation 21:1-4 God promises a new heavens and new earth where He will do away with death, sorrow, pain and misery. I hope this helps some. Please call me if you have questions or a comment. I'm Steve. My number is 762-359-7689.
