My earliest memory of my cousin was when I was about 4 years old. She was playing the piano and I was dancing around my Aunt's coffee table and was possibly (actually, probably) dancing on top of it! I learned to sing "Surely Goodness and Mercy" while there also. My next memory was more recent and the excitement she had that God had given her more time and she was going to use it to tell her family about our Savior! I think that will be my favorite!

You are a child of God. You are my sister. God Bless you and your family. We have a new warrior in Heaven to take care of all of us. Love you forever. My Friend

My condolences to the family. Karen will be missed. She was a great friend and co-worker. I enjoyed working with her. She was very friendly and understanding. She was always willing to help me in a time of need when I lost my father. She knew how to make me smile when I was down. My prayers go out to you and your family.

I can think of no one who helped me as much as Karen. Always on top of everything and always with her friends and family in her heart. She will be truly missed. I know Mark was waiting patiently for her and they are now once again together.

I am so saddened to hear of Karen's passing. I worked with her for many years in HR at Travis County. She was a lovely person and I so enjoyed our many conversations about anything and everything. My thoughts and prayers are with her entire family. Donna Stirman

I pray for Karen’s family, especially her precious grandchildren, as they mourn her loss. May the Lord God comfort you and wipe away your tears. He does not lightly let His loved ones die. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. Karen was truly a saint and child of God, evidenced by her strong faith in the Lord Jesus, her Savior. I look forward to seeing her in the New Jerusalem for all eternity with our Messiah. May He give to you His peace and comfort. Shalom, Erica Beeson
