Cody, I am so sorry to hear about Karen’s passing. I missed her so much after the two of you moved from Teel Road. It just wasn’t the same here. I could always go over and talk to Karen when I need advice and she always, always helped me to understand things better. I’m sorry we never got to visit the two of you in Charleston and I’m very sorry, because of Covid and my own health issues that Mike and I can’t come to say good bye to her. I know you and the kids are going to miss her so much. Its a shame they didn’t have a candle with cats on it.
Please know that Mike and I are thinking of you at this time and our prayers are with you and the family as you try and adjust to her departure from this earth.
Love,
Mike and Delores Vaughan

Cody, I am so sorry for your loss, she was so sweet and funny when she came in to the office. She was always telling Jamie and I about a stray or pup she would bring home for you to treat after you would tell her not too. She was so kind hearted and I can see why you loved her. Prayers for you and your family
