I have know Karen since we were small children, she was more of a sister to me than a friend. She suffered a very long time but now she is healed. I love her more than I can express. Our loss is Heavens gain. She is free from pain and she’s free
Johnny, Sandy and family, Ron and I are so sorry to hear of your loss. Karen was a precious lady, and fought a valiant fight. It was a pleasure knowing her, and seeing you both at our annual Senior Retreats. You all will be in our prayers for now, and the weeks ahead. Love to all, Ron and Anne Norris
Dear Johnny, Sandy, Chase, Taylor & Family,
I am sad for your loss. We take comfort in knowing our loved ones are with the Lord; yet, we grieve their absence from us.
Praying for you all; for God’s comfort and peace.
Sincerely,
