I really enjoyed r\the years we worked together at the nursing home. I was fortunate to be her charge nurse. Not only was her care of the residents great, she was also a wonderful person to work with.

My sincere condolences to your family during this time of sorrow, may loving family and friends help you in the days ahead to cope with the loss of Karen. At times like these, we can draw comfort from God’s promises in the Bible. At Revelation 21:3, 4 God has promised to wipe out all our tears and eliminate our pain and death. And at John 5:28, 29 God promises a resurrection back to life in the near future. Jesus said, “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.”
