Friends are friends forever, if the Lord's the Lord of them-

And a friend will not say never, though the welcome will not end-

Though it's hard to let you go... In the Father's hands we know-

That a Lifetime's not too long... to Live as Friends."

To My Friend Kara ❤️

Rest in Peace

With Love Always, Julie

So sorry to hear of Kara’s passing.

Elaine:  Kara was so lucky to have you as a mom.  You shared a special bond with your daughter that few others have had the opportunity to enjoy. I'm glad I got to spend some time with Kara a few weeks ago to reminisce and laugh over our years spent working together at the OSPCA. I'm sure her dad was waiting for her with open arms.

Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your heart
