Karen was such a wonderful friend, we met when her and Ken lived in Oregon. We had a wonderful time together working with the Vietnam Veterans of America.
She will be greatly missed. Condolences to her family.

All I can say is she was an amazing friend. I met her and Ken in Marysvale many years ago. I had many opportunities to be with them and especially Karen after she lost Ken. How great their reunion. She will be greatly missed. May Heavenly Father bless her family at this time. I love you Karen.
