Dear Ora and family,

I am so sorry to hear about Karen's passing. The last time I had spoken with her was at Ora's party. I am sorry we missed her funeral to give you our love and concern in person. May the Lord richly bless and comfort each one of you. We are still comng to terms wtih Lora's recent passing and feel like we know what you are going through. Our only true and lasting comfort has been from the sweet Spirit that has pierced our hearts and reminded us of the loving plan of salvation. We know where they are and that we'll see them again some day. We love your entire family and you hold a special place in our hearts Our prayers are with you. Much love, Doug & Lisa Hatton-Ward and Marie McDonald.

When we were 10 years old Karen and I would go to the Olympus High swimming pool at least twice a week and then get fries at the little place next to the milk depot. Karen was a good friend.

Karen,
All of the ISIS people will feel the void tremendously. Personally, you have brought my Molly-girl to my life and I will be eternally grateful for that gift in my life.

Fondly,
Vera and Molly

Karen - what a dear, sweet, kind-hearted person you were. Oh, the fun times we used to have back in junior high school. Although we lost touch over the years, you've remained a fond memory to me. May your family and loved ones find peace in remembering your smile and laughter.

Karen, I made it through high school because of you! You were always the best friend without fail!! I loved the rides in the blue car, the stops at 7 -eleven with your dad's credit card, listening to "Wham" and all the trips to the cabin! What fun we had! I miss you and am sorry that you have suffered so much. Rest in peace my sweet friend, i hope to see you again someday! Love, Laurie Glauser Shelley
