I am truly sorry for your family's loss. I never had the chance to meet Karen but she was the mother to Chrissy a very good wife, mother and I am sure daughter, so I am sure these traits were passed onto her from this wonderful mother. Casey and Chrissy and the rest of your family will have to put your faith in God and know you will see her on the other side and have comfort knowing that she is now another angel to help you thru this life. I will keep you all in my prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Karen was such a wonderful caring person, I worked with her many years ago and she was so kind to the sick and elderly. She talked about her kids and grandkids nonstop...she loved all of you so much. Karen will be missed by many. Your family is very fortunate to have had a mother like her.

Jones family, I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother. She truly was such an amazing, thoughtful, caring person with a big heart. She would do anything for her children/grandchildren as she always did because her children/grandchildren were her passion, pride and joy. Karen was the true meaning of a family woman, she would drop everything for her children/grandchildren or anyone for that matter because that's the wonderful type of person she was. Your mom was longing to be back with your dad and now she is in heaven smiling down happy and at peace again once and for all. Karen's soul will live on through you all as she will be watching over each and every single one of you as she would if she were here today. She knew how much she was loved by all of you and many others. Although no one was ready to let her go, at least she is happy to be reunited again with her soul mate. She is up there smiling down waiting til the day she meets you all again in the future. My thoughts and prayers are with you all and I pray for strength and comfort within your hearts to help you all through this difficult time. R.I.P. sweet Karen, you will be missed by many.

Dear Jones Family, I am so sorry about your loss. Karen was such a wonderful person. I will never forget the kindness she showed to my grandma. She was always bringing her dinners or something good to eat. Karen was a very giving person and so easy to get along with. She will be missed. I know she's in heaven reunited with your dad. My prayers are with all of you.
