When I was 5, my Aunt Karen would bring me my cousin, Linda’s, unwashed baby food jars, as I requested. I would put a little water in them and mix it so I could feed my dolls real baby food. That’s love.
David and Melissa so sorry for your loss. So difficult to lose a parent. Take care. Love you, Aunt Nancy
So Sorry Krista, I will be thinking of you !
We were sisters from different mothers, but had kindred spirits. We shared our lives with each other. I am so very glad we met. We had some amazing times together. We could talk for hours and still have more to say or not say. God blessed us with you for an extended 8 months. We were so very blessed to have you. I miss you and Love you! Until we meet again. Rhonda
When I was little, we always used to go to Aunt Karen’s house so our parents could play euchre and drink wine coolers. I loved going there because Aunt Karen would always let me play with her glass Knick Knacks and never yelled at me. She was always so kind to me. Aunt Karen was my mother’s best friend and vice versa! Now your reunited and that makes it a tiny bit easier on the heart! Much love and I’ll miss you very much!
Rest In Peace, Dear Karen
