Memorial Contributions

Karen had a huge heart for all animals big and small.  In lieu of flowers, please send all donations to her two favorite animal rescues: Rosie's Southside Animal Shelter and Uplands PEAK (People, Earth, and Animals in Kinship).

"Hear our humble prayer, O God,
for our friends the animals, your creatures.
We pray especially for all that are suffering in any way:
for the overworked and underfed,
the hunted, lost, or hungry;
for all in captivity or ill-treated,
and for those that must be put to death.
For those who deal with them,
we ask a gentle heart of compassion,
gentle hands, and kindly words.
Make us all true friends to animals
and worthy followers of our merciful Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen."
