I don't know you Karen, but since you are a retired Orange County DCSS employee--that makes you part of the OC family. I am impressed that at the young age of 62 you had accomplished several projects that benefitted the community, not just you. That is why God puts us on this Earth -- to serve HIM and continue HIS work. God bless and hold you near HIM to infinity. Peace will come to Adam knowing you are resting in your eternal home.

Karen always had a very hearty laugh and an easy smile for everyone. She spoke of her son Adam often and with much pride. I never had the chance to know her well, but I do know that she was well loved and will be missed by all. I knew her from the Tall Club from years ago.

Karen always had a smile on her face, no matter what she was going through in her life. She always thought of the good in people and was always there to help in any way she could. The world was a better place with Karen in it and I can only hope and pray she knew how much she touched each persons life in one way or another. I will greatly miss our talks and her friendship. Some day we will meet again. My prayers go to her son Adam, her pride and joy in her life. There was never a time we talked that she wasn't always bragging about her son. The good memories of Karen will live on forever within me.
