“Connie and I are so very sorry for the loss of this loveliest of ladies. We remember fondly your joyful wedding of which I was honored to officiate. (Beautiful bride 💐) and then, later, you bought our beloved home on Springbrook Drive. We were so happy to pass it on to another dear family to enjoy it and prosper. Steve, and children, we send our love and join you in giving thanks for Karin’s life. Gods blessings to all, including your family, Steve, whom we also remember warmly.”
