I already do and will always miss my Aunt Karen dearly……

There aren’t really words that do what her loss does to my heart justice. I’m in tears even as I write this. I can only take comfort in knowing that because she accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior that she is renewed and in her true and eternal home in Heaven with Jesus! This brings me joy and tears simultaneously. Death is a very real reality check for the vapor that life is and though it stings here on earth in the absence of the ones we love, Jesus took the sting of death from death eternally so thankfully her passing was not an ending but her beginning with her Heavenly Father where she truly belongs for eternity! I’m so thankful that those of us who also know and follow Jesus will see her again someday and join in the praise and dance of eternal life with Jesus! For now, it’s our memories and love for Aunt Karen that keep her remembered and celebrated for the time we were graced with her life here on earth and this picture is my most recent and one of my favorites with my Aunt Karen <3

We were both very passionate about pro life and attended the CareNet banquet 2023 together for her one of many times and unknowingly at the time, her last time….I remember the day well from the texts and calls to when I picked her up and she looked so lovely as always and we complimented each other on our way and when we arrived, we talked while we were in line and were approached by many of the people she knew there and then finally seated to have a wonderful dinner and enjoy the evening. We laughed and we cried and we related to each other.

It was a wonderful time together and we thoroughly enjoyed it!

I will always remember this and other times we shared and this place in my heart will never be filled again and that’s ok because when you love someone, you want them to have a piece of your heart forever and that’s exactly what she has from me…<3

My most heart felt condolences to EVERYONE feeling her loss and please know I’m praying for you all…Blessings….<3
