Dear Greg, Ryan, Jack, and Eric,
We are so, so sorry to hear the news about Karen. I am sure you are all devastated right now. She was such a sweet, soft-spoken person who seemed to have a heart of gold. We liked her the moment we met her many years ago. Please know that we are sending you all lots of hugs and prayers. We would love to attend her memorial service when everything settles down and you are able to schedule it. Keep us posted, Ryan.
Love,
Cookie and Bob

Karen was one of the most wonderful, thoughtful, giving people we have met. Though she had a gentle spirit, she was so strong – you could feel it. We wish we had known her longer and could have spent more time getting to know such an amazing women. We are so blessed that Haley, our daughter, is part of the Graham family. Our deepest sympathy to the whole family – thoughts and prayers.

Dearest Melba – the only comfort at the passing of your gifted daughter Karen is that she is now sharing in the feast that has no end with her Lord Jesus as host, at the table with her Dad Ray and other beloved family and friends now in life eternal. I am praying also for your son-in-law and grandsons and families. You know that St. Andrew’s Church and Pastor Tom are there for you.
Always your sister in Christ, Pastor Laura Csellak+

Our hearts are heavy to hear this news. My gosh, Karen was like a 2nd mom to Luke. I think he spent just as much time at your house as he did at home. Few people in their lifetime are fortunate enough to have a special person like Karen to call “friend”. She was a genuine, fun-spirited, kind-hearted woman. I only wish that time hadn’t put so much space between us.
Our love and prayers go out to you all. May Karen find eternal peace, love and joy in Heaven.
With Deepest Sympathy, Cheryl & Tom Snyder
