                IT'S ME AGAIN WELL AS YOU ALREADY KNOW KIM M. MADE IT TO HEAVEN WITH YOU AS WELL, IT'S SO HARD TO BELIEVE AND TAKE IN THAT ALL OF THESE SPECIAL PEOPLE ARE BEING TAKEN SOO YOUNG I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND IT. AS WIERD AS IT MAY SOUND AS A 30 YEAR OLD WOMAN I LAY THERE IN BED EVERY NIGHT WORRYING AND WONDERING WHEN IS MY TIME GONNA BE UP AND I USED TO NEVER WORRY ABOUT THAT EVER!!!!! BUT NOW I FIND IT SO HARD TO LIVE AND CARRY ON WITHOUT CONSTANTLY WORRYING ABOUT MY DEATH. CAUSE NOW DAYS AGE IS NOTHING ANYMORE IT'S AWFULL. A PERSON JUST NEVER NEVER KNOWS WHEN THIER TIME IS UP. I KNOW RITA AND I WERE TALKING ABOUT IT AS WELL AND WE WERE SAYING THAT IT MAKES A PERSON WANT TO MAKE SURE THINGS ARE RIGHT WITH YOUR FAMILY BEFORE GOING TO BED CAUSE YOU OR THEM MAY NOT WAKE UP  IT SOUNDS WIERD BUT IT'S THE GOD HONEST TRUTH. DON'T GET ME WRONG I'D LOVE TO BE WITH YOU RIGHT NOW ESPECIALLY HEARING ABOUT HOW AWESOME HEAVEN IS!!!!! BUT I  HAVE BLAKE AND MY GIRLS, BRAD,REX WHO NEED ME RIGHT NOW BUT IF I HAD TO CHOOSE I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO. IT WOULD DEFINATLEY BE A TOUGH ONE MY MOTHER/BEST FRIEND OR MY CHILDREN/BLAKE???  GOD KNOWS HOW MUCH WE ALL MISS AND LOVE YOU!! I FEEL SOO SORRY FOR KIM'S FAMILY THEY ALSO HAVE A LOOOONG ROAD AHEAD OF THEM LOOSING SOMEONE YOU LOVE SOO MUCH AND HAVING TO ACTUALLY SAY GOODBYE FOR ETERNITY  HAS TO BE THE HARDEST THING A PERSON HAS TO LIVE WITH AND DO. I JUST HOPE I GO BEFORE MY GIRLS AND BLAKE CAUSE I JUST DON'T THINK I COULD HANDLE IT THEY WOULD HAVE TO PUT ME ON SOME MAJOR MEDICATION  IN ORDER FOR ME TO GET THROUGH LIFE WITHOUT ANY OF THEM!! WELL JUST REMEMBER I HOLD A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART JUST FOR YOU AND I ALWAYS WILL .  I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SOO MUCH. 

P.S. BE SURE TO SHOW KIM THE ROPES IN HEAVEN ...

Happy Labor Day, I miss you alot  / Brenda Bradham (sister)
Happy Labor Day Karen
Just wanted to say hello, I know Labor Day is coming upon us but thats okay its one day closer to getting to see you. Won't that be grand our family reuniting up there. The first thing I will do is find you and take me to see Jesus because I want to thank him for everything he has done for me, when I was younger how he gave me a large family and alot of love, still have that today and I am so thankful, how he keeps me going day to day without him I don't know what I would do. When I get there we will sit and drink Diet coke not by your pool like we did down here but by the river of life.  That will be so wonderful. Love and miss you alot , please tell dad and mom and Donnie we love them because I know your all up there together. Happy Labor Day Sis. I love You, your lil sis. Close

Your Daughter Is Amazing  / Julie Giddens (Niece)

I know you have been watching over Jennifer.  But I just wanted to tell you what an amazing Daughter you have.  All the time and hard work that she spent preparing for your Memorial Blood Drive. It was a Great Success!!! I have to say she is so much like you in so many different ways.  She is ALWAYS on the go doing something cleaning, tending to the kids what ever it is she is always moving. She never slows down.  But she better!!! If she plans something she follows through with it until its accomplished.  I could continue on and on.  She of course still has moments and asks herself why as we all do.  But she is a strong person just like you were and she will get through day by day, As she carries all you great memories with her.
Again just wanted to say Your Daughter Is Amazing.
With Love Always
Your Niece

WHAT A TRIBUTE THIS WEBSITE TO A WONDER MOTHER, SISTER, AUNT  / Dianna Jacobs (friend of Rita/sister )
I hope, Jennifer and Rita, and family have been given comfort
in building this glorious website In Memory of Karen, she
was so greatly loved and loved greatly,  she would
help, give all she had to anyone in need, as I learned about
Karen when I read through this website and viewed the many
photos. 

Grieving and Mourning the loss of our loved ones as we
do means we loved them so very much on this earth and
they will never be forgotten, never, as years go by, our
memories of our loved ones will bring us comfort, not tears
through God's Grace.

May God Bless this Family, give them the strength to live
on without their PRECIOUS KAREN, mother, sister, aunt

My hugs to all
Dianna
