I was sad to come across this obituary. I dated her son Patrick years ago. Karen was a first class lady! Sad to hear about her passing. My condolences to Pat.

I was just thinking of Kim (Karen) and I googled her and found her obituary. I was married to her late brother Ben. All five of the Robert and Dorothy Honeyman off spring are gone now. I am overwhelmed with sadness. God bless them all.
