    My deepest condolences to Betty, Karen, Betsy and Jane, Kimberly, and all family and friends. Karri was was my best friend since 2008 and I loved her like she was my daughter. Words cannot express my sorrow and pain at her passing. My only comfort is knowing she is finally free of the suffering she had to endure. May her soul rest in peace for eternity and may the Lord reunite her with her loved ones in heaven.

    I cannot begin to understand how to express my feelings to the family of my dearest and most beloved little sister Karri (Bunkie) and best friend. Although Karri and I never met in person, our relationship through Facebook and by phone and text was something that was more real then any family relationship could ever surpass. I loved her more then anyone and I am going to miss her more than words could ever say….To Betty…My heart goes out to you and I wish you much love…Until me meet again….God Speed My Dearest.
