My Soul Mate Husbands Sister. My Sister by Marriage. My BFF by Heart! I keep our secrets as promised! A bond unknown to others! Rest in eternal peace with my love! I will be here for your Boys as you asked of me!! You will never be forgotten!
My sweet childhood friend…you, Barbara, Tina and I were the best of friends. We experienced life together, we were the bestest of friends. We shared so many wonderful memories together. We will miss so very much my dear friend. You drove me to school every day, we experienced so many “firsts” together. My heart is broken and I will carry you in my heart forever dear friend. You were a beautiful person both inside and out, a contagious smile, a wonderful Mother and Aunt. Rest in peace my sweet friend. <3
My deepest condolences for the entire family. May god bless each and everyone of you through this difficult time.
Karen touched many lives she was great inside and out. I am so sorry for this loss for her family, children, and friends that were blessed to be apart of her life. Karen and I had great times together that will never fade or be forgotten. Karen’s passing is a great loss and hearts are hurting we can only hope that she is now resting and at peace.
My heart aches for the family, especially her boys. They were her life. She was so proud of the men they have become. She was a wonderful Mother and Aunt to Ryan. We enjoyed watching our boys grow up together and the ever so interesting Christmas photos they tried to manage taken with 3 little boys all so close in age. To me… she was not just a fellow classmate but a lifelong friend who I loved like a sister who I will dearly miss and never forget. ❤
Thinking of you and so sorry for your loss.
Thinking of the Wisheart family, and Karen’s son’s. So sad for you all. Hugs to her brother, Neal, and to his wife, Suzanne.
