Bro. Odom, Kerri and extended family,
What a PRECIOUS and dear SAINT of God, Sis. Karen Odom was! I and my family will never forget her many kindnesses that she showed to us in the 30+ years that our paths crossed hers! Her concern for those that had situations going on in their lives, she would do her best to help in any way she could! She marched with Faith, Hope & Determination in her soul to make that Heavenly journey to be her Final Home! Rejoice Sis. Karen, on those streets of Gold!
Love, Bro.& Sis. Michael L. Phillips

I am so sorry to read about Karen! Even though I am sad at her passing I know she is rejoicing with our Lord. I worked with her years ago at Sears and I loved her????
Mama, where do I begin…My heart is in a million pieces missing You. There is such a void in Our Home, it’s quiet! You were what We revolved around. Heaven is much sweeter with You there. I’m so thankful that Your not sick anymore, and Your race is run, and I will see You again! Thankful that God was merciful to Us and let You come home where You wanted to be!!
Love You so much!
