So honored and blessed that I had the opportunity to meet Karen on more than one occasion… she was always so funny and witty… & I’ll never forget her spitfire attitude. Her sense of humor could bring you to tears , with the biggest smile and even bigger heart! She was truly a wonderful, kind & loving person inside and out. Im forever grateful that I was fortunate enough to know her. Condolences to the family… she will truly be missed … but never forgotten.
Karen will always be remembered as humorous, and a great mom and grandmother. Thank you for bringing joy to the Honors family holiday gatherings at Kevin’s
We are so honored and blessed to have had Karen’s loving friendship. She was a shining light of kindness and caring. She never missed sending a holiday text to share her sincere love for all and reminding us of the importance to share that love with each other. She is and forever will be a true inspiration of the power of God’s Spirit. Though we celebrate her well deserved “Spiritual Promotion”, our thoughts and prayers are with all suffering deep sadness during this most difficult time of her moving on. She forever lives and inspires in all that share in her memory and love.
Condolences to the family
Dear Mellissa, Todd & Family,
We are so sorry to hear the passing of Karen. She was a special person with a wonderful sense of humor.
Ginger first met Karen at Kodak back in the mid 60’s and enjoyed a wonder friendship ever since. About that same time Ron met Bill at The Gleason Works and soon met Karen. They eventually introduced us and were our best man & maid of honor at our wedding. We will forever be grateful for Karen igniting that spark that brought us all together.
Karen always remembered our birthdays and wedding anniversaries, routinely and timely sending us both cards.
She was always fun to be around and we will always cherish our memories of her. We are both grateful to have shared so many happy times and call her a close friend. She will be greatly missed.
Love, Ginger & Ron Strine
MELISSA, OUR DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO YOU & YOUR FAMILY FOR THE LOSS OF YOUR LOVED ONE. MAY OUR LORD COMFORT YOU WITH HIS LOVE & PEACE.
LOVE, NEDDIE, JOHN & FAMILY
SO SORRY FOR THE LOSS OF YOUR MOM, YOU ARE IN MY CONTINUED THOUGHTS & PRAYERS.
