My condolences to the family of my sister Karen. I am so glad that God placed us together here on Earth to share fun and quality time. You will always be my sister. I just wanted to share some fond memories of our times together: laughing, road trips, hotel visits with all of the Davis sisters, special birthday events, eating together at each other’s houses, praising and worshiping at different churches, family gatherings, graduations, and entertaining our grandchildren, Karen, my beautiful, loving, giving and companionate sister and dear friend I will always treasure our time together. But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. Psalms 3:3. Rest in Peace.
