Karen gave me two beautiful jackets and whenever I wear them people love the jackets and I always receive compliments. Karen had a loving and giving spirit. I will always remember her love for working at the Black road branch library.

I first met Karen at the Palos-Orland Business and Professional Women (BPW), then was a regular customer of her at Parcels,Etc. I would go in for a quick minute and then we would talk for an hour! She was a unique and original person. My condolences to her family and may she rest in peace.
