          At her request,  there will be a private family service.

  2. She was such a special person and one of my favorite Aunts. I will really feel the loss the next time I come to Oklahoma and walk into her house and don't hear her sweet voice and laughter! Prayers and Love to you all!

  4. I remember Mrs.Karl from school many years ago. Though she was not my teacher, I believe she taught my siblings. I wanted to express my condolences on your loss. During times of grief I have found great comfort from the Bible promise of a resurrection as promised at Acts 24:15. Soon there will be a future free of death and sorrow (Revelation 21:3,4) Please be assured our heavenly father is aware of your pain and can comfort you (Isaiah 41:13 ; Psalm 94:19). May this hope and your memories sustain you during these difficult days.
