My Dear Sweet "Wild Angel"....I am writing tonight because I just wanted you to know that I can't thank God enough for bringing YOU into my life 21 years ago. The first time I met you, I just knew we were going to become good friends. Well, as it turns out we became the Best of Friends....and let me tell you it's been a fun, unpredictable, happy, exciting, and yes, even sometimes a scary 21 year "Road Trip". I'm pretty sure we have seen and done things together that many friends never get to experience and I am so very thankful for every single one of them. Stories are running rampant through my mind of so many examples of our beautiful adventures called life....from late night talks for hours on end....parties, family dinners at your Mom's house....many many late nights out with friends and then afterwards going to Shoneys, Waffle House or I-Hop to laugh the rest of the night away.
Your family became my family and my family became yours. My boys have loved you from the first time they met you and I have loved your boys for all these years and my love for them will continue always, along with so many other wonderful people that you brought to my life.
You were the Maid of Honor in my wedding.... LOL....and it turns out that the man I was marrying had actually hit on you before he hit on me. Boy.....We had a lot of laughs over that.
After one of our very "Fun" night's, we were not feeling so well the next day and you had heard one of the doctors we worked for say that rubbing lemons under your arms would help with hangover symptoms... Well, all I know is when Momma Nell made you lift your arms and she started rubbing that lemon under your arm.....you came out of that bed yelling "stop Momma.....that's so cold".....Lord I sure prayed she wasn't coming to the other side of the bed for me next! LOL
So many many wonderful memories we made together....and I will cherish every single one of them always. Well....I have carried on enough tonight. I love you "Red".....my Sister from another mother and my Reba. We need to Fear Not.....For God Has You in His Loving Arms. Sleep well my sweet friend.

I first met Karen, when I was visiting a friend. (Linda Dugas) at the time. Karen was too funny in a serious way. She had to knock my cowboys a few time and that was when they were winning. Karen had the biggest heart when you deserved it and a heart of stone if you didn't . If you any of you new Karen she loved to dance and I made the mistake of saying I knew how ( big mistake) she made look like a beginning toddler,but as time went on she would have me on the floor at every chance she got and afte a while I didn't feel like a beginner. She will be missed very much and left this world way to soon. I will say this heaven has its hands full with this red headed spitfire. She was really loved by so many people!!!!
