To the children and family of Mrs. Karen N. Butler
Truly it is a very hurtful to lose your mother. But God makes no mistakes, there is no hurt that He can't heal. Cherish the memories and most importantly lean and depend on Jesus. He is waiting just to carry you thru. Always remember it doesn't matter what we go thru-What matters is who we go thru it with and that's JESUS! I wish you all nothing but joy and peace. Karen's struggle is over and she is no longer worried about anything. Family find peace in this.

To the family of Karen, especailly the children. I realized the day I met Karen in the early 90's she was a jewel. Her beautiful smile amd personality made our infrequent meetings and talks most enjoyable. I am happy that I was able to speak with her earlier this year during Ephraim and Solomon's participation in the tutoring program. She was a wonderful lady. As Arthur's desire was, and I know Karen's too, I will be praying that each one of the children accomplish your goals, but remember to "seek the Kingdom of God first..." Kayla, you have always been highly esteemed by your parents for your wisdom and strength and I will be praying for and your siblings and the entire family. May God comfort you during this difficult time.

I am almost lost for words because of the tears that is flowing deep within. But I know that God says that in Philippians 4:13 that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. I am asking God to strengthen the family and send the spirit of peace upon the children that they will be able to know that God makes no mistakes and that if we just hold to His unchanging hands for Weeping may endure for a moment but Joys comes in the morning. Much Love "Aunt Hunna"

God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So He wrapped his arms around you,
and whispered, “Come to me”.
You didn’t deserve what you went through,
So He gave you rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best
And when I saw you sleeping,
So peaceful and free from pain
I could not wish you back
To suffer that again.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. Karen's memories will live on forever in your hearts. We don't know why so don't question God. II Timothy 4:6-7 states: For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight,I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: May God keep the family in his care endeavor.
