Karen was a wonderful person. She always took the time to ask me how I was and her smile lit up a room. She was a lovely lady with such a loving and kind spirit. I will miss her. My deepest sympathies to her Joe and her family. May the wonderful memories you have of her bring you much comfort during this time. Love and blessings, Andrea Whetzel
