What a wonderful Christian lady. I was so glad we got to have a fun visit recently and shared many memories. You will be missed. To Kelly, David, and Sara: She was a friend to many and she will always be Karen's other grandmother. You are in our prayers. Love, Janice and Harold

I am sorry to get this news. We were neighbors years ago, she was a precious person. I am praying for the family to be strong at this time. Kelly, you may remember me, I am the nurse that vaccinated you. I lived just down the street. My parents (Bernard & Ray Parks) lived on Parks Street. Your mother was a wonderful Christian lady, we will see her again.
