Being next door neighbors to the Meloches, I knew Karen since she was a baby. Almost all of my childhood memories have her and Kelly in them. They have always been family to me and my whole family. She was my other little sister. While my heart is heavy with sorrow, and thoughts of her family and kids. My mind is full of memories. From her and Chelsey letting smurfette the dog lick their ice cream cones. To running through the sprinklers in our front yard on hot summer days. I will always remember her laugh. Boisterous and contagious. I wish I could hear it one more time. And just hug her and tell her, I love you little sister, I'm never letting you go. You will be greatly missed. I hope you have found peace. Thank you Kelly for doing this, love you, my heart and prayers are with you.
