Karen is With Jesus!

About 12:30pm today, Karen went to be with Jesus.  We are saddened by our loss but rejoicing in her gain!  More details later.

  4. I had to go back and read the first post that Karen wrote on this blog... it was May 24, 2010 but it could have been written just a moment ago... Karen was forever thanking everyone else for any little thing ... and she leaves us with much to be thankful for. Here is what she wrote:

    I decided to do a blog because I have so many people praying for me and I want to keep you
    all updated so you know what best to pray. Thank you all so much for the cards, letters, hugs and prayers. I appreciate you all more than you will ever know.

    We appreciate you too Karen... and Jack and Angela and Alison and the rest of your family. We will continue praying for you. Jack, the strength I know it took for you to type out on this blog that Karen had passed today surely came from God; may He continue to strengthen you.
    You are in our prayers.
    Nick and Karen Epifano

    1. BEAUTIFUL sentiment and wonderful thought to go back to the beginning of this blog. I wouldn't have thought to do that. Thank you. I could hear her voice saying those words. She told me last week that she would pray for me to find a job (unemployed now). How amazing that she would be worried about me, when she was dealing with so much on her own. I'll never forget that. As hard as it was to call and hear the weakness of her voice, it was worth it to hear the STRENGTH of her spirit.

  5. Jack, Adam, Megan, Alyson and Angela...all the love that I can muster is being sent to you. It is a sad time for those of us left here on this earth...but she is smiling now walking with Jesus. All our prayers for her she is now saying for us to find peace and contentment and not forget our Lord.

    Love hugs and kisses from David and myself. Maybe God's love surround you and cushion the loss of Karen. She will be missed but never ever forgotten.

  6. Jack, Adam, Megan, Alyson and Angela, you are in our thoughts and prayers today. We are so glad we got to see Karen last week, and know you are all sad to have her gone, but thankful she is no longer suffering. Until we see you again at the memorial in Rockwell, you will be thought of daily. Love, Paul and Charleen

  8. Jack, Adam, Megan, Alyson, and Angela my prayers and love for your family at this time. I am so glad that I came down one last time to visit one last time with Karen. She always had a sweet smile for everyone no matter what. She was a hero of the faith and loved her Lord very much. Now she is walking with Him and I am jealouse. Seek Gods mercy each day. Ask the Lord to stay close to you always. Judy Arbogast

  10. Jack, Adam, Megan, Alyson and Angela,
    I have a heavy heart today, and am thinking of you all. As hard as it was to call and hear the weakness of her voice in the last weeks, it was worth it to hear the STRENGTH of her spirit. Your mom/wife IS an amazing woman, which I know you all are painfully aware. I am wishing you the most comfort possible at this difficult time. Much love from us...
