Karen loved family and gardening as she was always amazed by the power of God in watching things grow.  As a believer in Jesus Christ, Karen loved bible study with friends and family, as well as digging into how biblical prophesies are active in today’s world.  She was solid in her knowledge that she would be with God after her mortal life and often discussed what it may be like. The time for discussion has ended as she is present in the gardens of heaven looking forward to the reunion with her loved ones.
