Not sure what to say?

I remember her smile and a twinkle in her eye. The "Peterson grew up across the street from us. We had a wonderfully close fun neighborhood to grow up in. Karen was my brothers age, younger than me but we did all play together, in a much simpler time. Enjoying pop cycles and back yard pool parties. I am so sorry to hear of your families loss. Dementia is a horrible disease. Marta

Karen was my cousin. Her mother Loretta was my father Burt Carlson's sister. I have so many memories of our family get togethers for holiday's at all our houses, including our Grand parents. I talked to her last about 3 years ago. She was as, noted in the obit, a wonderful person who made all feel welcome, & cared for. I have attached a photo of us kids from around 1960 at a relatives house. She is top row in the middle. I will miss her.

I recall when Karen and Mike started dating back in high school. They were perfect for each other ! Karen was such a sweet heart and always helping others. She was also a good cat parent. Karen will be missed.

My sympathies to the family and friends who loved her.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Condolences to Karen´s family. I remember Karen when I was her son, Chad´s teacher. Karen was a caring and supportive parent. Always so kind. Thinking of Karen´s family... Robin Payne
