Dear Scott and Family,
Our hearts are with you. We were hoping that the Lahey Clinic could have helped. Words cannot express the pain you and the girls and anyone whose life Karen touched is experiencing from this tragic loss. Karen lit up any room or person she had contact with. Always had a wonderful smile and sweetness about her. God blessed you with her being here even for a short time. We love you all. - The Saphires
