To my beloved Grandchildren Avery and Preston, I will always remember the love and attention your mother gave from your birth and after. She loved you both with the care, dedication and pride all. Parents feel.  To you both with  David ,Kathy ,and your family ,my heart breaks  for the grief you are experiencing. I pray God wraps his arms of compassion around you and cradles you there till this loss becomes memories of the joy laughter and love your heart hold for her.

In this image, this is our family vacation to Hilton head South Carolina and we all gathered up under this awesome oak tree in Arbor town. We loved having family together and we certainly loved Karen. She had a way of making me and everyone laughed with her crazy faces and silly gestures. She was a joy in our lives.! KK we’re gonna miss you love Jim and Ginny Best

This memory at Young Memorial Church in Thompson Georgia. Mother’s Day luncheon. Karen was really involved with the children’s ministry and would meet with them on Wednesday nights and have activities and do things with them until she had to go to work. She was wonderful with the kids. This this is the church where I was honored to baptize Karen as her mother-in-law and as her pastor. What a great memory.

Another memory from the same day my mom Rebekah on the left, Karen, then Jenny Best and grandmother Tidwell. We always went to grandmother’s house for Thanksgiving and it was always great when the whole family could come. Karen made a wonderful impact on our family.

To the left Kenny, grandmother Tidwell, Brandi, Rebekah, and Karen. A great time to celebrate getting married and having a baby Karen was absolutely beautiful.

Kk loved spending time with our nephew Dalton. He loved her as much as she loved him..
