Condolences for the family of “Karen Sue Kirkgard”
So sadden about Karen,s death but I know where her home is now and I will see her again one day. I miss her texts which was how we kept in touch or phone calls which she preferred . I have lots of beautiful memories of “KK” a name I knew her by for so many years. I am still in disbelief. Lots of love sent your way and if you ever just need to chat about her and share our memories I’m just a text or phone call away. God go with you as you say bye for now. I know I said mine Three years ago in October.
I worked with karen in hospice. She was a very sweet person. She will be missed by many.
