Our hearts go out to the Cordes family – Karen’s memories will carry them far. She was an outstanding lady, nice to everyone she met – and oh how she loved her family. Especially watching her grandchildren grow. Farewell my friend – until we meet again. God Bless.
I will remember what a kind and caring person she was to all! Thank you for the time spent we spent being friends.
I met Karen at the Grand Ole Players Theatee where she volunteered her time. She was a wonderful and caring person with many talents. When I bought my wedding dress she was gracious to offer her seamstree abilities to make my dress perfect. I pray that all of the memories shared will bring you comfort and peace.
I am praying for Gods peace be upon you all during this time. We celebrate you Karen. You were an amazing and loving friend to all. Robyn Wilhoft
