There are only a handful of people That you'll meet in life That truly touch your heart And make you glad youÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢re alive They've got a special presence When they walk into a room It's almost like they were sent there To take away your gloom They can make you happy when Everything seems sad So happy it almost makes you mad They forget about their problems And brighten up your day And you don't realize it until TheyÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢ve gone away They teach us to enjoy everyday Live life to the fullest Laugh, love and play Because there's no guarantee YouÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢ll get another day So if you have a chance to make someone smile donÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢t pass up the opportunity to make them happy for awhile It may be their last chance and You'll remember them and their smile.
Karen was a wonderful woman and like a second mother to me. She always made me feel welcomed in her home and her smile could make a bad day just go away. She will be missed and my prayers and thoughts are with her family.
There are no words to express how much Karen meant to me. She was always available to listen and encourage those around her. She stood with me during a rough time in my life and was an anchor! She was my son's 2nd mom and always welcomed him into her home. We are sad here on earth but Heaven has gained a tremendous saint who will fit right in and be ready to greet us when we take our final trip. My prayers go out to her family. With all my love and prayers, Peggy Williams
