Yo no tuve el privilegio de haber conocido a mi prima Karen. Lo unico que se es que era familia y la familia por mas desconocida que sea se mantiene unida. Les brindamos nuestro apoyo. Y sepan que la familia Barcenas esta aqui para lo que necesiten. Les mandamos nuestros mas sinceros y profundas condolencias.
Mis mas sinceras condolencias para toda su familia primo y que Dios les de fuerzas para seguir adelante y se que no es facil pero todo lo es posible con la horacion en cristo.
I heard of your loss today. It was such an honor to know and care for your beautiful daughter.. She had a beautiful heart. Please know she has touched the lives of many, including mine with her integrity, strength, and faith. Knowing that those qualities also stem from a beautiful family. She was truly one of the strongest and most dignified young ladies I have met. You will be in my prayers during this most difficult time of loss.
I didn’t know Karen as well as I wish I did, but she made my senior year of high school the best school year I’ve ever had. I only knew her for a short time, but she always had a way of making me smile and laugh even when I didn’t want to… My prayers are with her wonderful family that I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting yet…
We are sad for your family’s lost of Karen. If we can do anything let us know. You are in our prayers.
Our son, Austin has had the wonderful opportunity to participate in band and FCA with your sweet angel. He has always expressed nothing but kind sentiments about the person that she was. God does always take the best first and she was surely a sweet angel. May your memories warm your heart and put a smile on your face.
In our thoughts and prayers daily,
The Olivo Family
May you RIP sweet Angel.
Dear Davila family, please accept my sincere sympathy. May you look forward to the time when the Bible says that "(God) will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will morning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away" (Revelation 21:4). I hope that this promise and loving memories bring you comfort.
