In Loving Memory of my aunt Karen


Karen, Greg's wife and my aunt passed away suddenly on October 7th. It was a blood clot that traveled from her knee to her lungs. An unexpected and heartbreaking death I wanted to just honor her on my site. The funeral service will be Sunday, October 11th. Here is a link if you would like to see more pictures. But I will just name a few of my very fond memories of her here. Karen was an incredible woman that was on top of everything. Her heart was so big, giving and genuine. She was a woman to admire and respect. She was so fun to chat with and made you feel so important. She was really excited about this baby boy on the way and offered well really told me that she was going to babysitt any chance she got. Last time I hung out with her was just 3 short weeks ago when her and Greg came up to visit is us in Fort Collins. She gave me advice on raising baby boys, complemented my decorating and then treated Jay and I to lunch. She was always such a joy. There were many a laughs shared at their house and many yummy meals and holidays spent together. My baby boy will know what an incredible woman she was. All my prayers go to Greg, her 3 boys, my grandparents, and my cousins that thought of her as an incredible second mom. Here is a link to her blog if you would like to see more pictures or find out more about her funeral. http://www.karensampier.blogspot.com
