Dear Jim, Dennis and Larry and family,
I just found out tonight about Karen. I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Karen at Forbes Hospice for quite a few years and became friends with her. She was such a good worker; always giving her all for her patients. She was such a sweet, caring person. I will miss her. So sorry I didn't know about her passing until now. I would have definitely come to her funeral service. You will be in my prayers.

I went to high school with Karen and saw her last fall. She was still the same: kind and talkative, smiling and friendly. So sorry for your loss. God grant you strength during this difficult time.

I first had the pleasure of working with Karen through Care Connections and later at Longwood at Oakmont. Karen was such a dedicated and caring employee. She never had a bad word to say about anyone. She always had a smile on her face and lovingly cared for each and every one of her patients. She was a sweet soul.
