It is difficult to put into words the passing of such dear friends of ours. We have so many memories down through the years of our children and their’s. We count ourselves grateful to know Karen and Doug and their children and extend our love and deepest condolences to the children. We’re grateful that we were privileged to know Karen and Doug. Ever trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent. A scout through and through! I still remember Karen growing cosmos flowers right out of the seed packet just throwing them into the dirt and them thriving she had such a green thumb. We will never look at a sunflower without thinking of her. When we want to laugh our hardest we purposefully and lovingly mimic the cheerful lyrical laugh of Doug Ward! Karen And Doug walk with us every day and watch over you every day of your lives. With love from Craig and Susie Mortensen.
