Dear Family,
I have been a volunteer at Cave City Nursing Home for 3 years now and came to know, love and consider Karen a friend. I have a musical exercise program once a week where I play CD's (music that the residents can relate to) and we exercise to that music. Without a doubt Karen's favorite artist was Elvis so I always tried to play at least a couple of his songs during my 45 minute program. My favorite story Karen told was about Elvis. When she was 5 years old she wanted to marry Elvis and have puppies! How sweet! I will miss her. God Bless your family.

She will be dearly missed. I used to work with her af Beverly Enterprise which is now Batesvile nursing and rehab, she was a good hard worker and a very conciderate CNA. Now she's with god resting in Gods arms with your daddy. She is finally at peace. May God also comfort your family and give you peace at this time.

Diane, Michelle & Jennifer

I am so so sorry to hear about Karen. She will be well missed by us all. I know that I will miss her dearly. I have fond memories of her and our friendship for over 35+ years. All of you will be in my thoughts and Prayers during this time. She is at peace now and not suffering anymore. She flew home to be with the angels and with your daddy (Marshall) that she loved very deeply. Remember that she lives on in your lives and in your heart.
