Jeff posted this last night and I want to make sure everyone gets to read it. Grab the tissues.

"This is a tough one and I do it with an extremely heavy heart. I lost my wife, mother of our children and best friend on July 19th. The turn out for Karins services just confirms to me that I truly am the luckiest man alive being able to spend most of my life with her. You all have made this process a bit easier and I can never thank you enough so I simply but sincerely say...THANK YOU!I have truly been blessed... "

Jeff,
I never had the opportunity to meet Karin in person, but learned alot about her through our mutual dear friend, Beth, over the years. She touched my life like she did so many others and I feel priviledged to have been a part of her journey. Nothing that I or anyone else can say will ease your pain, but just know that time does help heal.

Jeff...what a beautiful service for Karin. Her will, her journey and her last celebration of life isn't one I'll ever forget. You are right, you were and our a very lucky man, as was she. Fortunately, her beautiful spirit lives within Noah & Salina and yourself. Together I know you will create a beautiful life together, simply by continuing on the path you and Karin started for your family years ago. I don't think I'm the only one who felt her presence at the Celebration. I felt like she was calm and at peace...the way one feels when you finally get home after a long trip...

Love to you and the kids. You are all in my prayers.
Love Bev

Hi Jeff,
My heart goes out to you as well as Salina and Noah. Words cannot express how special she was to all of us especially to you who are her family. The service for Karin was beautiful, sad as well as comforting through the words of Pastor Larry. We love you all and offer up many prayers for the Lord's peace to comfort you all of your days. Karin's favorite song has been my personal favorite song over the past 3 years with the changes I have gone through in my own life. Jesus give us courage and the ability to perservere through the toughest of curcumstances and God will always provide a way to make it happen if it is in line with his will for us. For this I am truely thankful for Karin as she was always an encouragement to me and will always be. I am hearing her laugh ringing daily throughout the halls at Celebration. For this I am thankful for the days we spent together at work with Salina and Noah and Sarah at our side.
Peace be with You, Salina and Noah.
Love, Joan and Sarah
