I have missed my beautiful Aunt who has raised me half my life. I was not ready for her to leave me so fast. I still have questions that are unanswered and we still had so much to do together. I know her and little larry are watching over me and loving me from heaven. Heaven has the best 2 angels around. Id give anything just to talk to them one more time. The passing of my aunt and little Larry has really taken a toll on me. I know they are i heaven watching over me and protecting me the best they can. They know my love for them is infinite. Not a day goes by that i dont think of the 2 most important people in my life. I love them so much!!!!!! Your loving niece and cousin Suzanne Leigh Morris

I am so sorry to hear about Karren. I remember when Karren would come down to see my dad which was Karren's grandfather. Lillian was my dad's daughter. She was always so sweet. I am sorry we lost touch over the years. I do not have any idea where Leroy or Leon are. Karren was always a beautiful person. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Karren, you didn't check with me on this one first. This flight was affordable as God reserved the ticket. One we are in no hurry for but seems to always come up at an inopportune time. Girl, you know I love you and your confidences are safe even at your departure and I still have your back in the COGOP, BFF. I MISS US. That is words enough. Hope to meet you in glory. Later, Prayer Partner.

Dear Larry, Michael, and Mark,
I want you to know that I am thinking about you all. I truly loved Karren and I am grieving with ya'll. She was a good friend, no matter what. She could make you smile when you just didn't think you could. She could hold you tight, cry with you and understand like nobody else would. I love her... I am only a phone call away if you ever need me. Praying, Jeanie

Sending you peace, love, and hugs.

Larry, Mark & Michael, you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I have been friends with Karren for so many years.....since the days when Larry, Jr. was in elementary school. It was always great getting to visit with her on my return trips back to West Memphis. She was always smiling and she, Melba and I had many wonderful times together. When I think of Karren, it is always with a smile. May God give each of you a peace that can only come from Him during this time.

I'm sincerely sorry for your loss.

Death of a loved one can bring feeling of helplessness, hopelessness, anger, guilt, regerts, suffering and pain. But our loving God Jehovah do not leave us alone or without a hope. He is not far from you and he feels for you when you suffer. ( Acts 17 : 27; Zechariah 2 : 8 ) He promises that there is going to be a resurrection. Those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out. ( Acts 24 : 15; John 5 : 28,29 ) Imagine the joy of being reunited with your loved one.

The fulfillment of his promises are very near, and my his promises bring ccomfort to you.
