I always admired Aunt Karen for the way she made everyone feel. Easy to know and fun to be around always! I loved it when she gave her kids that special look...or forewarning if you will!

Dan, Kim, Chris, Steve, Jeff, Paul and family,
Karen was a wonderful person with a peaceful and kind presence - always willing to help anyone who needed it and perhaps whip them up a sandwich or share a plate of cookies and a smile. She leaves me and many others with countless memories of good times. She was one cool lady, and I will always hold a special place in my heart for her and your family.
