Today is a sad day... the day we will say so long to a wonderful person.... Karen had a contagious smile... I had the oppurtunity to talk with Paul and he said " I have ro regrets our lives were wonderful"... yes they were.. Paul the days ahead will be hard but you have a future with your kids and grandchildren to keep you going..to her children you were her reason for living from the time you were born until she left the world and to Karen's momma I can only say she was such a joy and that is because she had the best of the best when it came to mommas... she was what you brought her up to be... a loving, caring, and all around great woman... with that I can only say from the words of one of my favorite song...I feel Karen would use these words to help you through "remember my smile and the things we used to do, how you were always there for me and how much I loved you. Celebrate, celebrate the life that in my heart was you." God bless you all....
