Deb, I am so very very sorry for yous and your family's loss.
I am also sorry I haven't been there for you these past few weeks. I have had a few set backs and won't be able to attend your beautifull sister's visitation.
She is blessed now and no longer in pain. Remember the sweet memories and let them envelope you now in this time of unfortunate sadness.
Please know I am with you in my heart and thoughts.
Your friend, Jenn Liberty

I have so many memories of you Aunt. You were there so many times for many reasons, birthdays, weddings, graduations. I will never forget all your love and support when Dad died. I know that you are in heaven now, maybe I'm selfish because I would rather have you here. Miss you and love you, Janis.

As memories enter my thoughts, I can not think of many times or events in my life that Karen was not a part of. From the major events to the small quiet times, she was a part of me and my family. She celebrated with me during joyous times, and stood strong to support me in difficult times. I will so miss ya, sis.
