As I step back from the sorrow of Mildred’s imminent passing, I see life as a relay race. Each runner runs their fastest, then passes a baton to the next runner, and then his/her part of the race is over. The parallel in life is that each runner is a generation, and the baton they pass is the baton of love and family values to the next generation. As Mildred makes her final handoff, I realize that the handoff is not made at a moment in time, but over a lifetime by the actions we take and the examples we make.

Even before I merged with the Karraker family, I was exposed to the family reuinons. In fact, they are the most “reuniony” family I know. Mildred embraced these and always wanted us to be around her. She did not smother her family or seek to compel us to be by her side, but was always happy to have her family near. Family vacations and Thanksgiving gatherings were a tradition, as was the annual Karraker reunion in Illinois. Last November, we expressed concerns about Dave and Mildred making the trip to San Diego for Thanksgiving, but we were basically told that they were willing to crawl 1,000 miles along Interstate 10 to get there. I’d like to think that it was my gravy that compelled them to come, but it was the comaderie and love for family that drew them on the long trip.

Aunt Mildred will be missed ... Every year, no matter where we gathered, she welcomed me and Wayne and each of our children to the reunion so warmly and with such love. I never saw her in a "cross" mood or not smiling. My only regret is that we all did not live closer so we would have known her better and experienced more of her warmth.
Uncle Davy, Emily, Frances and Mark, my thoughts are with you. The Finney girls, and Wayne, know the pain of the loss of a parent. Please call or email if there is anything we can do.
Love Deborah, Wayne, Erin, Evan, Shannon and Blaire

The “baton of love” that Mildred handed to us is a beacon of light. Many times, I have heard, even from my own parents, “why can’t things ever be like the good old days?” implying that the world had sunk into decay, family values eroded, and the beacon of love lost forever. Nothing can be farther from the truth. Nowhere In my life have I seen such love, hope, and caring as in Frances as evidenced by the actions that she takes. She loves her family more than life itself. I also see the beacon of light and love in both of you. The beacon of love shines more brightly than ever; and although we mourn Mildreds imminent passing, these are the best times ever. The baton of love is being passed, and will endure forever in our family.

The Karraker Family,
We are thinking of you all during this sad time. I will always remember Mrs. Karraker as a warm and welcoming matriarch with a sense of humor. I have always remembered my college visit with Frances during Christmas one year: Such pride she took in entertaining - the table, the meals, the conversation, and making this guest feel so welcomed. It made a thirty five year impression.
Love, Marian and Vaughn Bishop

She looked forward to your vists and going to see her children. She will be missed every Wednesday morning when she came in to brighter our day never complaning when I knew she did not feel well. She was a lovely person and I will miss her dearly. She loved live and lived a full one. God bless all of you

Mrs. K was one of those people who always had a positive word to say, a Kleenex in her purse for those who needed one and a smile on her face. She was a great audience for those of us who enjoy telling jokes and goofy stories. She was always kind, smart, steady and generous.
