Words cannot express the sorrow Becky and I felt over learning the passing of Karen. We met Karen through Kevin and soon realized how caring she was and how much she loved her family and friends. She will certainly be missed.
May God wrap his arms around her family and friends during this time of sorrow.

Karen and her family we all go way back to childhood days where it was me , Karen , Bobbie as well as Tina, Paula, Bessie as well as the guys - We had many fun times in the neighborhood and as life moves along we were just-able to reconnect not so long ago and was so excited for her with her new home and to catch up soon with life and as it was never knowing how much time you have but one thing that has remained through it all she has always been a beautiful soul - she will be missed

My condolences to all of her family and friends. From my memories she seemed to smile all the time. We had mutual friends and from what I’ve seen with their blessings at this terrible time, she was a true blessed spirit. Knowing she is not suffering anymore is her true blessing. Prayers for her family
