I am so sad to learn of you loss. Words are hard to come by. Melanie and I feel your pain and have you in our prayers.
I do remember offering ice cream cones to the girls at basketball games if they hit the winning free throws — I still owe karenza a cone - she hit the wining shot .
There are almost too many memories to pick one to share. I've known this wonderful caring soul since she was 2 years old and had the chicken pox with my daughter Sadie. The best thing Chicken Pox could ever do as our families began sharing many wonderful times together. Tia and I took Karenza and Sadie to Virginia Beach for a 16th birthday gift for them. We were riding a 4 person pedal cart. Karenza was in the drivers seat and got us hung up on a large trash container on the path. We all laughed so hard. There has been a lot more laughter in this world because of KK and I miss her already. Lots of love and prayers to the family and especially to her husband Ross.
Karenza was a joy to be around. I never remember anything but love, laughter, fun loving and that smile and her laugh I will never forget. Scott and our family are devastated by the loss of our best friends sweet Karenza. We have loved this family for most of Karenza's life. My daughter Miranda and Karenza's birthday are one day apart by one year so many shared birthday and pool parties at the Risor's. Tia and Randy have shared countless vacations, family time, lake fun and lots of wonderful food over the years. I can't imagine not being able to hug Karenza and hear that wonderful laugh. I will never forget her face when we went white river rafting and Karenza was sitting near the guide and the guide through Tia and I out of the boat into the water. That big smile had never been larger, I wasn't too happy about it but she was just so cute and sweet.
I am honored that the family chose Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge in lieu of flowers. We will order a brick in her name for our BamBam walkway. I am completely humbled by the Risor's generosity and I am terribly sorry for this loss.
RIP sweet girl, you are missed.
