Condolence: Chris, Donnie and families, I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mom and Dad was both very wonderful people. I knew them both from working at Davis Cash and if my memory is correct I actually first met your Dad at Shannon Supply and was a pleasure to help him there to and they was always so nice to talk to. They are together again and in no pain an I know they are very happy to be together and with God in heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Bob and Shirley Waller

Condolence: Donnie and Chris I don't have the words to express what a great lady your mother was. Always smiling and encouraging to everyone she talked to. She had something encouraging to say to me every time I seen her. She will be missed by many, Jordan and Kendal just let God take control and He will get you through this. God bless you all He will get you through this to Stacy, I know how much you loved her and Joe.

Condolence: Donnie, Chris and families. There aren't enough words to say what is on my heart. I am so sorry to hear about Karen. She was a precious lady and was one that I will always remember with a smile. Karen loved everyone and was an inspiration to many. She was such a godly woman and was always a joy to be around. I thank God for allowing me to know her. The kids and I are heartbroken for you all and will have you in our thoughts and prayers May God be with you and comfort you during this time.

Condolence: Aunt Wilodene, Donny, Chris and families. My fond memories of growing up with Karen are to many to list. In the past few years, distance and poor health have not allowed us to continue to visit. I had so much respect for her in her health battles. She fought to be here for her family. Now her fight is over and she is surely resting in the arms of God as He welcomed her home to join her husband and daddy. I hope you find peace and comfort in the fine example of a Christian daughter and mother you had. Your nephew and cousin, Jesse Bradford

Condolence: To the Bates family. My thoughts and prayers are for all of you at this difficult time. Karen was a sweet and wonderful person. I met her when I was going through Chemo 5 1/2 years ago. I was fortunate enough to see her in Walmart three weeks ago and we got to visit for a while. She was a fighter and now she is with Jesus and Joe and cancer free no more pain and suffering so please remember her as the wonderful person she was. God called another angel home.

Condolence From: Stephanie Lawrence
Condolence: Dear Bates Family, I am so sorry to hear of Karen's passing. I have had some good laughs with her at church and enjoyed every minute of visiting with her. She was always kind and I could count on a Birthday Card and Holiday Cards from her each year. Karen set an example of what kindness was. Jordan, my heart breaks for you sweetie. I know you loved her and she loved you... I am here if you need me. Stacy Polston... she was an Aunt but she was more than that. I know what she meant to you. I can still here her laughing at us at the VA hospital and our many adventures there. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. May God give you all comfort and Peace in the days to come. Great is her reward and her battle is over.
