Karen was sunshine in many lives. She laughed and smiled from the inside out. She was a beautiful person both inside and out. She will be missed at our family reunions; Karen will never be forgotten in our hearts. God Bless her loved ones and may God be with them throughout this difficult time of grief. Love you Miss Karen!
