Karen so sad to hear of your Mom's passing especially since you just retired. She was always so kind to me and she did have that smile and great laugh. I hope you and your family are thinking of all the great memories to get you through the next few days, May God watch over all of you.

Dear Karen,
Your mom was a honey, a dear soul. So sweet and kind-natured. She talked of getting back home . . . back home to her house where you often check in on her or stopped for lunch. You were a good daughter to your mom. She was much loved. May God comfort you in sweet ways during this tender time.
Love and hugs and prayers,
Pastor Heather
