"She opens her mouth with wisdom and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue". Proverbs 31-26.  Our Sweet Karen!  We miss you so. Karen was and always will be an very important part of our Relay team.  When Karen was weak, she would still volunteer to help with our Relay fundraisers. Sassy Sisters For A Cure miss you and we will continue to fight!!
Praying for you , Dave. We Love You, Cliff and  Donna Davis

So many fond memories -- I was just looking at some photos from the year when our diagnoses and treatments overlapped.  Remember the sock monkey and the adventures we created just for fun?  Karen inspired the idea to create a back to school outfit and take a photo of "Hope" the sock monkey on her school bus.  

We bonded not only in the midst of illness, but in happy times such as enjoying Paul and Matt's friendship throughout high school and college, sharing our faith, pizza at Sal's, lunch at Panera, fighting the weeds in the flower beds, and fondness of cats.

Karen excelled in allowing God's strength to rule in her life, exhibiting a tenacity like no other.  Until we meet again, friend...  Robin

There could never been a better comforter, cheerleader, and friend to those who would follow in her footsteps of receiving a cancer diagnosis. Thanks Karen,  for your pertinent advice and continuous love and positive attitude. I miss your smile, but I look forward to a heavenly reunion one day, a day of no more sorrow and pain., and definitely no more cancer!

Dear David,
Since I knew Karen when she was a teen I've had the joy of seeing her develop into the woman she became. Her strong faith evident by the way she lived as a wife, mother, sister, cousin, friend. Her desire to serve God in every way really encouraged me. I continue to miss her.

I only knew Karen for a short time.  It was her love of the Lord which encouraged me and brought me to The Best Small Group.  I miss her infectious smile.  I will always remember her for her warmth and love of life.  Carol Jones

I have been thinking about how it is a rare thing to witness someone live their life well, and an even rarer thing to witness someone finish their life well. Karen did both, and in doing so left an indelible mark on this earth, marks that look more like signposts to the rest of us. These signposts she leaves behind point us to the places where we can learn to live as she lived, as one who followed closely to Jesus, loved her family tirelessly, and served God's people and His mission faithfully. What a rare gift she has given us because of her faith in the Lord Jesus! Dave, as I have the joy of witnessing your life and how much you love your beloved Karen, I learn from you both and praise God for giving me teachers like the two of you. I love you, my brother.

Karen's love for Christ and her family were so obvious! I loved seeing her smile and laughing with her as she joked on Dave. Karen and Dave's faith and loving marriage have been such an influence in my own faith and marriage. I am so blessed to have known Karen and thank God for the witness she was in my life.

Dearest Dave:  Like Laurie, we can't believe it's been 6 months.  I can still hear her hearty laugh and see her big, beautiful smile.  She always made you feel like she was so glad to see you, a truly welcoming person.  My Mom loved her so much and always asked about you both.  When Karen talked about Paul, she just beamed.  She loved her 2 boys SO much.  I thank God that we know where Karen is and that someday there will be a great reunion.  Much Love - Donna & Dave Cooper

I can't believe it's been 6 months.  Her memory is very vivid to me from her voice to her laugh and her love for her family, especially David and Paul.  Whenever I pull out the rice bin she donated to our children's ministry,  I can see her lovingly caring for our 2's and 3's.   I will always remember her as a strong Christian woman who lived well until she went home.  Dave's care for Karen rthrough her illness was a beautiful reflection of God's love for her bride, the church.  What a testimony to a life well lived!  May God give you comfort today and always!  We love you much!  Laurie and Clifton Bell

I'm going to Miss hearing your voice with the Love that melts your Heart. You are a Wonderful Aunt, 
Glad you were part of my Life. When the time comes see you over the Beautiful Rainbow! Prayers for Uncle Dave, Paul, Ana, and Family for Comfort. I will Miss You Forever until we meet again. Thank You for helping me save Mom, with your Love and Caring, Support. Now your with your Mom & Dad and Sister Janet, most of all Jesus, Enjoy Heaven with No Pain. Your the Best!! Love You!!!!

So sorry to hear this. Karen and I were best friends growing up in Camden. So many memories (building tents in her backyard and Sunday drives with her parents). My regret is not staying friends! May you rest in peace

We send heart felt HUGS.  You are and will be in our prayers daily.  May the Lord comfort you with His abiding, tender love.  

Karen is too wonderful to describe.  Her absence now is too sorely felt to put into words.  We grieve with you.

Christy and Dave Meneely

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Dave. I know Mom was at the gates to meet Karen on her arrival. Mom was standing there just waiting to give her a big hug.

Very loving and caring person, she will be dearly missed, love roxanne, audie, Kelly and heather

I feel blessed that I had the pleasure of knowing Karen. She lit up a room. She was a genuine loving and giving person.  May all the good memories comfort you during this sad time

I'm so sorry we ever grew apart. You were the sweetest person I ever knew. I remember how caring you always were. I never forgot all that you did for me and my family. I remember your baby shower for Paul. I remember thinking that was the happiest I had ever seen you. You deserved all the happiness and more in your life, and none of the bad. It's not fair that God took you so young. When I found out that you were sick, I prayed for you every single night, that God would heal you and you would be fine. Out of all the prayers out there, that one in particular should have been answered. I know it's not my place to question God's motives. And I can only hope you're finally at peace and no longer in pain. That you and my mom are up there together, keeping each other company and reminicing about the good ol' days. 
Just know that Jamie, Andrew, and myself aare sending all our love to you up there in Heaven and all of our love, hope and prayers to Uncle David, Paul, Ana, and all of our dear family members and friends.

You will be greatly missed and forever in our hearts. We love you, Aunt Karen!

A wonderful tribute to a wonderful woman. Our love and prayers are with you.

My heartfelt sympathy to you.  May the One Who always goes before us continue to guide and comfort you, even now.

Uncle Joe Faith

Dear Dave,
I am so very sorry about Karen's passing.  She was a very sweet person and I always loved talking to her.  Just know that you are thought of at this time.

Dave,

A very heartfelt tribute to Karen and well-written.  We'll be with you throughout.  

Your friend,

Tom
