Thank you to everyone who honored Karen through this Guest Book. She was my angel nearly fifty years and I was constantly blessed. Her absence creates a deep hole in my life.

Rodney and Carole, you both are in our thoughts and prayers. May God be with both of you in your time of sorrow.
I will miss our long telephone calls. We always ended up talking about all the time we spend together growing up and how we would sit in our Mammmy Wehr,s walk in closet and discuss what we thought were really difficult problems. I will miss all that reminiscing with her. Karen was a wonderful cousin.

Mr. Mummey,
I am so sorry to see your wife passed away. May God give you the strength you need to get through these very difficult times.
She will physically be gone but her spirit will never ever leave your side. Trust me.
Her pain and struggling is done. Your wife is with God, family members, friends simply "rejoicing" in the Glorious heavens.
God be with you Mr. Mummey. You must be strong. Your wife will remind you in "her own way" when you're not.
Prayers are send your way....

What a shock. She was a great person. She was such a kind person. She always was there to lend a hand or to talk to when we lived aside of you and her. She will be missed. Our prayers are with you and your family during this time.

Dear Rodney, Keith and I were so saddened to hear of Karen's passing. She was such a kind and gentle person and when I was sick many years ago, she came several times to visit me. That is something I will never forgot.
I will see her again in heaven.
May God Bless you and give you comfort in the coming months.

Dear Rodney (and all the Mummeys), my heart was heavy when I heard about Karen. I had seen her at Wegmans since my mom got sick and she completely turned my mood around. This poem, I do not know where it comes from except that I have it saved on my computer, it has always been a comfort to me when someone or some furry friend has gone to the next world. I hope it will bring comfort to you.
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there,
I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there.
I did not die.

Rodney, it was a shock to hear of Karen's passing. She was truly a special and wonderful woman as evidenced by all who have paid tribute to her. Karen must have many jewels in her crown, because she touched so many people!
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love leaves a memory no one can steal.

Mr. Mummey, Am sorry to have heard to news about Karen. My wife Maria and I will miss her at the Stretch classes as she was a wonderful person and always gave us a hug when she came in. I am sure she is with the Lord and at peace. Bill and Maria Leickel

Love to all!

Karen, you will be missed more than I can say... you were always happy and smiling, even when I know that you had to be in pain, confused or uncomfortable. You were there for me to talk to when I was having trouble with my son, and bringing me short stories to read that were related to my situation, even though you had problems of your own. Your shoulder was always there for me to cry on whenever I needed it. We had an awesome time together at Stretch Class and especially at Zumba Class..I'll always treasure the fun we had together. "Can you PLEASE give me a ride home so I don't have to walk up that huge hill?", I recall asking you more than once after Zumba Class. Remember the fun time that we had together at the "Class of '72" Slatington High School Reunion. Remember us talking about "stick lady" the waitress (My EX's brother, my EX brother-in-law's GF) and how we laughed and laughed cause I didn't want her to see me or know who I was. I could go on and on, but you know, R.M.A.C.I.R.Y. This goes to a really special woman who, whenever I speak of her in the future, I will always remember as the "Lady with the incredible smile.."

Dear Rodney, Carole and family,
I spoke with Karen about 3 weeks ago and she sounded wonderful. Marlin and I will miss her phone calls when she said "Hi Cuz". Karen made us feel like we were family forever, even though we only met 6 years ago. We are so thankful we were in your lives. Karen was a caring, softhearted, loving person. We appreciated that Karen and Rodney opened their arms, hearts and hospitality to us and our family. We will remember her always. She will be missed.
Love,

Karen is a great and giving soul, and I can't help but feeling like an angle was simply called home (she was needed elsewhere in the universe). She was my baby-sitter back in Slatedale in the 1960's, then mentored me through hard times in the 70's, and became a very close friend throughout my life, despite our geographical distance. I will miss her, but am comforted that she is in her heaven now - what a greeting she must have had there!!! Rodney and Carol, I can't help feeling like she's with Bob, June, Les, and her cat Winston - I'm so sorry for your loss - and feel so blessed to have known Karen.

Rodney, the Lord comfort you in a time like this and draw
you closer to His side. Karen touched so many lives. She was an avid prayer partner with compassion on the hurting. She will be missed for sure. But Heaven has gained a woman who
did so many righteous acts, and for that she is being rewarded. Thank God for Karen a wonderful example of a
Christian. May we follow her example and enter Heaven with
such a good report. Thanks for praying--Karen. We know
angels report from here to Heaven and you will hear it.
Love, Friends Bob and Mary Hoppes

Dear Rodney and family: Karen and her mother June were the sweetest most caring women I have ever known. They were something I can only hope to be women of quiet faith, true examples of inner serenity. I can close my eyes and remember the last time I spoke to her and her warmth encircling me. She will be missed by all but a true gift to all who knew her. I am sorry I am out of town for her services but know that I am there in my heart.
November 14, 2013
Rodney and family,
I was shocked to hear of Karen's passing. It was so good to see you both at the 90th birthday party a few weeks ago and never thought it would be the last time here on earth. Karen certainly lived a full and rewarding life and will be missed.
My deepest sympathies to you.

My sincere sympathy for your tremendous loss. There are no words that can fully describe a person like Karen. I've known her all my life and her personality and character, her soft spoken voice reflect the kindness she has shown to so many, a true child of God and a symbol of faith. Both you and Karen were very giving people and a help to so many. I pray that God gives you peace and your faith gives you strength.
