Mom's Obituary

Our Mom wrote her own obituary. We already ache missing her and don't know how we'll go on in life without her, but we know in time we'll heal and that she will be with us in spirit. We love you, Mom. We will continue to update the blog during the next few weeks of more details of her last weeks and then details about her life that won't be said during the funeral due to time. My Mom thanks all of you for the great sacrifices of service and love you have given her husband, Russ (our Dad) and he thanks you deeply from his heart also. Her children thank you so very much for helping our Mom try to stay comfortable. We love you all and our lives are changed for the better. We have SO Much to be Thankful for this Thanksgiving and upcoming Christmas Season. Our Savior Lives and he will make up for all of our losses. He has Karen in his arms and I'm sure he's saying, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant".....and welcome home.
