My prayers and condolences goes out to the Sidney and Smith families. You will be missed tremendously. I can see you now in the choir at our Church (Elizabeth Baptist Church) singing and praising God or passing me in the hallway at work saying hey sis. It's so difficult to believe you are gone. But in my heart I know that when God decide to pick a rose, he wants one with a beautiful heart so he picked you to bloom in his vineyard. Fly high Karen and take your rest. We loved you but God loved you more.πΉπΉπΉποΈποΈποΈ
