Karen Bez

Still missing Karen as if it just happened. She made such a big place in my life with her big heart and brilliant mind. I will always miss you Dear Karen.

Karen was my teacher of co-counseling in the 1990s. She was great and she had catalytic a effect in my life....I will forever be indebted to her.

We were the stalwarts of our yoga class and enjoyed many conversations with our instructor and each other. She was kind, thoughtful and caring. Rest in peace, Karen

My sympathies to Karen's family and friends. As a fellow Aquinas tutor, I can attest to the care and commitment she would have given to her student(s). Hoping many fond memories will bring you comfort when days are long.

On behalf of the Department of Children and Family Services and the Office of Learning and Professional Development (OLPD), I share heartfelt condolences to the family of Karen Bez. Karen was an amazing person and a valued team member with OLPD under the DCFS/GSU contract for a number of years. Her commitment to improving the lives fo vulnerable children, youth, and families and social justice was unwavering and her presence will be missed.

My condolences to Karen's family and friends on the loss of an amazing mother, grandmother, sister and friend. I knew Karen as a colleague in the training office of the Department of Children and Family Services. Karen was a bright light in this life for all whose lives she touched and we are all better men women and children for having known her boundless love, compassion and care. Karen walked the talk in caring about the least among us and understood the true meaning of love for all of...

What a kind and loving person, she taught me so much through Re-evaluation counseling.

It's so hard to believe that Karen, who was such an active, enthusiastic, involved person and such a force for good could leave us so suddenly.

She changed my life, the lives of the people around me, and the whole world. A shinining light and never ending hope in the work for total liberation of all humans.
