Karen, you will truly be missed by all. You were the first person that I met at our VFW post 10442 6 1/2 years ago. You welcomed me with open arms and have been a friend ever since. Our hearts are heavy but we know the Lord has received an angel. Thoughts and prayers are with your family and all of our friends. Until we meet again dance and sing on my sister. We love you Michelle Butler
Your friendship was valued by so many, your heart was made of gold and your personality was precious. May you enjoy being in the arms of our creator and rest in heavenly peace.
