Aunt Karen was one of my favorite souls in the world.
Growing up I would go play on my aunt and uncles farm with my cousins.
No better fun days as a child could have ever been spent. My aunt was so good to be my entire life. She made me a beautiful tapestry jacket that I wore forever, Aunt Karen was an amazing seamstress (self-taught) she could sew anything.
She always made being at her house so special - and told me that I was the daughter she never had. She did not miss a birthday of mine always a special card saying for a Special Niece with a treat inside. I too never missed her birthday.
I was there for her when Tracy left suddenly. I found Eve a loving soul who dealt with grief. Aunt Karen and Eve became very close sweet friends. I pray that there were times she found peace while navigating such devastation.
Aunt Karen also was incredible with flowers and her gardens were something to marvel. Her gardens could have been featured on garden tours they were just so beautiful. I will miss knowing that she is in the world and a phone call away.
I know with my whole heart that she is an angel. I will look for signs of her daily. She is watching over all of us - her heart was that big. She was a pure love and gave her goodness so easily.
Daily prayers for my Uncle Ronnie, Terry and Tim and families.
Your family will need your graces - thank you for everything you taught me, gave to me with your laughter and kindness. I will wear purple for you.
Forever, I will love you Aunt Karen.
Your niece Kelli May-Krenz
