Kim, Marie and Evelyn,

Was so sorry to hear about Alpha.

She truly loved her family and spoke often of the memories of when her nieces and nephews were young and the great times she had with each of you.

May God be with you during this time of sadness.

Doris Gillispie,  Buffalo Mo

Karon was one of the sweetest, funniest ladies Ive ever known...she could always put a smile on your face and warm your heart...she enjoyed a good joke, and took care of her good friends..much love to Karons family----and Alpha-we'll see you later on...

Our hearts are with you and your family in your time of sorrow. Take comfort in knowing that Karon will always be with you. She will still help you get thru each day forward. Each trip you take she will be with you to see the beauty thur your eyes and hold your hand.

Karon Alpha was a dear friend at sbt, I walked with her on the picket lines, she was always helpful and a great personality, I have nothing but fond memories, what a character with lots of energy, she was loved and will be missed.

To the family of Karon Alpha.  My heart felt sorrow goes out to all of you, your familys and Karon are in my prayers.  I worked with Karon at SBC/ATT for many years.  She had a very extended family of friends who will sincerely miss her.  I'll miss her smile and wit and wisdom.  There are not many people on this world like her or even come close to being like her.  I still can't believe she's gone.  God bless you Alpha, I'll miss you alot!!!!

I will treasure all my memories with my Aunt Karon.  She will always be in my heart and never forgotten.  Love you Aunt Karon

I only knew Karon a little bit through my Good Friend Kim. (Funny lady though!) I do know Kim thought a lot of her.. Just in case anyone didnt know that.  I want to acknowledge Kim in the wonderful job she did to make her Aunt Karons funeral one that I believe Karon would be very proud of!!!

To Karon`s family- We were good friends that worked with her at the SWB and we played a lot of tricks on karon for fun, but she loved every bit of it.She was a very fun person to be with and a very good friend. We will miss her very much. - Sherry Honeyman and Phyllis Kerwood.

Please accept my condolences. I remember Alpha as a free and loving spirit who enjoyed life to the fullest. Her enthusiasm evoked joy to others.

Marie I am so sorry over your loss, Karon was so cool and sweet, down to earth lady.  She will be missed.  Let me know if I can do anything. Love you!!!!   Kathleen Gooch, Wichita, Ks

To know Karen was to love Karen..
I worked with her at the phone company for many years..What a blessing..
She was a friend to Everyone..I will always cherish the memories..
May your hearts be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you "celebrate a life well lived."

My Dearest Alpha, I can't imagine life without you! You were always my tower of strength and there for me in good times, bad times, sad times, stupid times and blessed times such as the birth of Damon. You have always been there for me and  I hope you know how much you were loved and appreciated for being a part of my life. Without you, there would be no me. There will never be another you. This world has been a better place with you in it. I am blessed to have had you in my life, you will always be the best. Thank you for always being there for me and while our daily talks will no longer take place each day I will set aside that time to remember you. 
With Love Always,
Donna Updegraff

I will treasure all the memories I have of my times with My Aunt Karon.  Like going for a ride in her brand new MG with the top down on a nice sunny day.  I will forever remember her humor and smile.

I will hold and cherish all the fun times I spent with my Aunt Karon, like driving around on a nice day in her brand new MG with the top down, Plus many more.   I will miss her a great deal, but will never forget her.  She was one of the funest Aunt's to hang out with, I also loved helping her work in the yard on Jade st.

An old friend from highschool wants Karons family and friends to know that I thought the world of Karon.  We had so many good times together and I am so happy to see that she must have had a wonderful life with such loving family members and friends, the pictures say it all.  God Bless you Karon and will be seeing you before you know it, we have 52 years to catch up.  God Bless your family

Dear Marie,
I have thought about you and Karon so many times through the years.  It's been a long time since I've seen either of you but I have some very nice memories.  We had allot of fun back in the days of the Alaskan..Know that my thoughts are with you and your family...I'm sure Karon's smile and presence will be greatly missed by all of you.

I knew when I saw Karon's name this morning that this had to be our neighbor on Vesta Drive! 
I always wondered about you all.  Reading this brought back many memories for Dick and I  - one of which was watching TV at your house for the very first time - test patterns and all. I'm so sorry to hear of her passing.  I will keep you in my prayers.  Nancy Anderson Conover

Karon had many Sisters and Brothers who worked with her at SBC in operator services, she was a sister to all, also my chief stewart. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
CWA Union Sister

RIP Aunt Karon, you will be missed but never forgotten.
Vicki Boyle

Marie,
Sorry to hear about your big sister.  Seeing this brought back some old memories from grade school.
