Sorry for the family's lose. If anything that we can do to help in this time don't hesitate to reach out.
I have such great memories of Karen, especially playing the organ at my wedding 43 years ago??
Tommy we were so sorry to hear of Karen’s passing. We are praying for you and your family's comfort at this time Love to you all.
There are not words that can describe my sweet cousin, Karen. We grew up as best friends (like sisters) in Albuquerque and continued in our adulthood. She was the most unselfish, generous person I know. She loved with all her heart. She had a difficult last 23 years of her life, but never complained. She was amazing at all she strived to do with only being able to use her right arm and hand. She laughed at herself and made me laugh. I will miss her so much, but I’m so thankful she is whole again in the arms of Jesus. I know she is rejoicing with her mom and dad and others that have already left us. Thank you to her family that generously shared her with me. I love you.
