I am Karen Elaine Cone Shiver. I am a grand daughter of Charlie Willie and Ethel Beck. My parents are Drucilla Beck Cone (daughter of Charlie Willie and Ethel) and Lamar Cone.
I have always had a love for history and as got older I realized how important it is to document our family history for future generations. This has been a monumental task but it has been a great joy! I now present this book to my family as my ultimate act of thanksgiving. I thank God for my family and I thank each and every one of you for what you have meant and continue to mean to me in our journey here on this earth. My prayer is that we may all be reunited one day in heaven where we will celebrate the best family reunion ever! We will all be a part of the family of God!
