Dearest Annemarie and Sophia,
I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. Indeed, she was a sweet soul and loved you both with all that she was. I will remember her fondly. Please know you have family that cares.

I have so many memories with KarenLea. When we first met at church, we did not like each other at all. It wasn't long before we were inseparable. We were always into something; we kept Carolyn on her toes. Into adulthood, we were still friends. Life gets in the way kids and activities. We talked on the phone quite a bit, as she was still my go-to. Love to all of you! She was an amazing, beautiful soul.
