Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Rodney, Mike, Mrs. Briggs and family You already know what a wonderful person Karen is. I’m grateful to have had her as my friend. Thank you for sharing her with me through what I know has been one of the hardest times of your lives. I’ve been praying for all of you and will continue to do so. I loved her too.
Maude, My thoughts and prayers are with you and Karen’s family. God was in the need of another angel and Karen filled His needs. She is at peace now with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God bless Karen’s entire family.
Our sincerest condolences to your family. Our thoughts and Prayers are with you. Karen was very kind and thoughtful and I am grateful to have worked for her. She will be deeply missed.
Hi My name is Tira Adamson. I grew up with Karen and went to school with her at Goddard and have a lot of great memories both durning school and after we graduated. I am sorry to hear about Karen passing. I know she has been ill for some time and she is a very strong lady. I wish the best for her family, to Michael and to Rodney.
May God comfort you and your family. ‘Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.’ Matthew 5:4. Sometimes mere words just aren’t enough to take away our grief. So we rely on God for help and strength in our belief. May He uplift you gently, Take the sorrow that you bear, Then comfort you with healing, In the safety of His care.
Michael, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
