I am so sorry for your loss of your beloved Karen. The death of a loved one is the most devastating experience a family can face. At times, the loss may seem so unbearable, but please know that there are those who care. More importantly, Psalm 34:18 tells us that "God is near to those that are broken at heart". He "is the God of all comfort". (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) My prayers are with the family.
