Tim and Tom, Your parents were such a memorable part of our lives for so many years. The four of us shared vacations that were special in so many ways. Being in England when 911 happened was an indescribable experience. The four of us were overjoyed when we were able to contact our four "kids" and were so relieved when we knew you all were safe. Who could forget the skiing vacations, Hawaii, Alaska, France, England, etc., etc. Your mother loved to take pictures of churches and and John would indulge her even when we were on a tight schedule. Yes, the memories go on and on and she will always have a special place in my heart. Sandra Coleman (Martinsville, VA)

Karen was a warm, generous woman who gave unselfishly of her time and talents to everyone, especially children. She spent many years at Epiphany Day Care in addition to being a tireless worker for the Sunday School children of TUMC. I know Bill was waiting to welcome her into Heaven.

In loving memory of Karen. Karen and Bill were wonderful friends. We had some great times together over many years. There were church activities, concerts, dinners together. They were the kind of friends who would step in and help when they saw a need; they didn't need to be asked. First we lost Bill, and now Karen. RIP dear friends. Love and condolences to Tom and Tim and the family.
