Kari all these words describe you perfectly! The world was a better place because you were in it and to know you was a privilege and to call you my friend was an honor. I love you and miss you already!

Kari styled my hair for several years. I always enjoyed our visits because she had such a beautiful smile and personality…. She will be miss!
My Beauty, I will miss you so much. Being able to laugh and talk with you is going to be missed. Save me a seat.
Kari you were one of the best humans I have ever met. You loved everyone in your circle but especially your husband and kiddos. You radiated kindness and love and attacked life with a positive energy. You will be missed so much.
My Sunshine forever. I love you and miss you already.
My sincerest condolences are being sent along with heartfelt prayers for the grief you are all experiencing during this unimaginable time. May you hold tight to your faith in Jesus and to each other in the days, months and years ahead. Find and capture each opportunity to serve others and love on them the way your momma poured into so many. I can think of no better way to honor her legacy. Your family is very special to so many and I know the absence of your matriarch will be felt as long as you have left this side of Heaven.
