Ronnle and Mandy, I haven't seen you guys since dad moved from Southeastern. When I seen this my heart hurt for you. Some of my favorite memories from when I was younger, was going next door. Karen was always so nice and loving. She was an awesome mom.Times like this, there are never words to express how you feel and nothing makes it better. When I lost dad I just thought about dad in heaven, were he belongs. I know that were Karen is with family, friends and Wild Bill

TONI CHERRY left a message on October 23, 2017:
I love my sister Karen with all my heart. We have been inseparable since the age of 4. We've shared the ups, the downs, and the in-between. We were both baptized at an early age both knowing we were children of God, and earlier this year we re-dedicated our lives to him. I know in my heart and soul that she is with him now as will I when I pass from this world. We will be together once more, kneeling before our lord side by side. I have lost a piece of my heart yet I know where to find it, with my sister and best friend Karen. I love you Bubs...
