Dear Bobby,
We are so sorry about Karen. She was such a loving friend and we are better people having had the privilege to have been able to be a part of her world. Not long ago she called mother and dad to see how they were doing at Mennonite Home, even with all she was going through! It made their day. That was the gift of Karen. She will be dearly missed.
We are always here for you, dear Bobby. Love, Kelley and David

Dear Bobby, Jason and Family,
I was shocked to hear of the loss of precious Karen. We grew up together and graduated from Kaplan High. My husband and I had met with Karen and her friend, Micky in New Orleans for a couple of years and enjoyed reconnecting and touring New Orleans. Her family, the Fletchers and Eleazars, were instrumental in settling our home town of Kaplan. I have many fond memories of our younger days. May happy memories carry you through this sorrowful time. Inez and Stephen Broussard
