I just recently learned of Karen's passing and I would like to express my sincere condolences to her family and especially her children. I meet Karen 5 years ago and worked with her for 2 and I immediately connected with her as I am from a family of 7 children and she and my mom were very close in age. She was an amazingly strong woman and she loved and adored her children more than anything in the world. She was always so proud of all you! She will always be there in your heart and watching over you. May God Bless you all.

I just found out about Karen and I know that she was a great person the little that I got to know her. She was a very strong woman and one who despite her large family, tried to pull through. Life is very short and in an instance it can all be taken away! She is down watching upon you all and I pray that during these difficult moments, you can all be a support to one another! My deepest sympathy to all!

Dan and Family
I am so sad that Karen has left us. I remember meetig Karen for the first time some 35+years ago as her grandpa and my dad discussed the electrical business. Karen was so accepting and always had time to listen or help out however she could. It is obvious that she and Dan have raised a beatuiful family - may the memory of Karen/Mom be what gets you through the upcoming days. Our love and prayers always
