My sincere condolences to

Joey, Tae and family, Karen was a good person, a good friend and a niece-in-law for a short period of time. I will greatly miss her. May God bless each of you and give you peace and comfort.

To Karen's immediate and extended family please accept our profound condolences in the loss of Karen Whitaker. Karen was an appreaciated friend of ours. We treasured the visits of Karen, Taye and the boys to our home in Alabama. We are thinking of the family and praying that God and Jesus will provide you a reservoir of peace, comfort and beautiful memories. Know that your love one have only moved. For her new address see John 14:2-4. Karen walked by faith to get there, but now she can see the beauty, hear the joy and feel the unthinkable glory as she rejoice in her salvation. Her hope have become reality, Jesus is the light and now she see it all by sight. She is home at last and free at last. Karen have entered eternal life.
