My most fond memories of my slightly older cousin are times spent at Lions Beach and Rocks Pond in our younger days. I often think of the of the song "These Boots Were Made For Walking" when she comes to mind. I always saw Karen as bit of a rebel- in a good-hearted way. Karen always had a great big smile when we had the chance to see each other. Big Smile and Hug to you Karen!!!

My most fond memories of my slightly older cousin where times spent at lions beach and rock pond in our much younger days. I often think of the song "These boots were made for Walking" when she comes to mind. I always saw Karen as bit of a rebel - but in a good hearted way. She always had a great big smile when we had the infrequent chance to see each other. Big smile and Hug to you Karen!!!

A dear friend from childhood: I will always remember from the time \\\\\


My Dear Friend, I will always remember the great times we had together as children. It was always a blessing to be with you and your family. We played in the great live oak trees in Riverland Terrace, James Island, SC. You came to be with your grandmother to look after daily. What a pleasure to know how we made it through life keeping in touch. I will miss you but look forward to the time we will have together walking those streets of GOLD in Heaven! I will miss you more than anyone knows! MY SWEET FRIEND - I Love You So! Cathy Stone Churchill

Ruthie & Family,

My condolences to you all.

With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
