Words cannot convey our sorrow in Aunt Karen’s passing. We will certainly miss her funny stories, her fun loving personality and all of the fun times we all had together! We are especially sorry that we will not be physically with all of you at the funeral but we are sending love and hugs from Florida.

To The Bodie Family,
Deeply sorry to hear the news of her passing.
What a very lovely lady. I’m so glad I had met her at the senior center. Loved when she’d come to play bingo. She loved to do the crafts as well, she had a lot of fun doing that and they always came out so great. We were talking about hair and she always complimented me on how my hair was always neat, and I say back it’s ok, but thank you for the compliment, but yours is nice as well. She kid and say it is?
She had a lovely, happy, funny personality and it was always a joy to talk to her. She was such a positive person.
May the Dear Lord put his arms around each and every one of you to help you through.
I liked her a lot, too bad I didn’t get to know her longer. But I appreciate the time I did have
Mommy I will always love you and. Miss you. Life got away from me but the one person that always believed in me was you. Mom will always be missed but there will always be a seat at game night table I will miss you forever. I love you mom. You are reunited wit papa and the rest of your family. I love mom until we reunite again. Your favorite child. Lou 😘
