I have great memories of my teacher Mrs. Berg at Emerson School. I got to see her last year, she was still as sweet as I remember. My deepest sympathy to your family.

Dear Mr. Berg and Andrew:

I have fond memories of Karen when my children were at South School in the 1970's. I even requested that my daughter Maryann be put in her classroom. She was a great teacher and special woman. "All mothers go straight to heaven", is my motto.

Your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Mr. Berg and Andrew:

Karen taught both of my daughters, Lisa and Michelle Pillivant. She was a wonderful teacher but moreover she was a special lady. We all have great memories of her at South School. We are so sorry for your loss.
