Dear Greg and Family,

You and Karen have been gravely missed since your relocation to AZ. I last visited with Karen as we were pumping gas at Costco. When she found out that I was going to be visiting family in Sequim, she gave me a box of Leggo's she had in her trunk which she had planned on donating. They were an amazing treat for the Jolly Family and I remember the delight it gave Karen to share with me. Working with Greg as State Committeeman in the WCGOP was a sear...

We met Karen & Greg quite a few years ago when they were so involved & active in local issues, speaking out at meetings about property rights & water/well issues in Whatcom County. Karen took on the issues with determination to help her fellow property owners and do the right thing. We had not seen each other since they moved to Arizona But she recently & sweetly reached out to me on the phone to chat & told me "I'm in the hospital in Arizona" and asked how we were doing. Our conversation...

I have wonderful memories of Karen. We worked together in PTA. She always supported the school and worked hard in projects to benefit her children, as well as many others. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Karen & Greg were wonderful neighbors to us on Saddlestone Ln. Karen was an inspiration and great friend. She inspired me to start quilting and was a wonderful mentor and teacher. She will be sorely missed. Our love and condolences to Greg and their family.

I was so saddened to hear of Karen's passing. I have missed seeing her the last few years since she moved to Arizona. I will always remember her innate kindness and sweet temperament. She was always upbeat even when it was obvious she was in pain. I always admired her cheerfulness and her concern and love of our country. So sorry Greg for your loss. God bless your family as you grieve.

So very glad my daughter not only met a wonderful man who would become her husband but also brought into our lives his wonderful parents. We loved Karen and I will miss her immensely but recognize that it was a blessing to know this gracious lady. I personally have not just lost my daughter's mother-in-law but a dearly loved and valued friend.

I’m so sorry, Brown family. I will remember Karen for her talent in creating and inspiring others to create and for the legacy of love that lives on in her children and grandchildren.

Karen was such a gifted and giving person, often thinking of what she could do for others. I cherish the time I spent with her learning to quilt, and as a result I have been able to make and gift many quilts to those I love. Karen lives on through the many lives she touched, and I’m so thankful she touched mine. Love you, Auntie Karen.

Karen was an extraordinary human being in every respect: talented, intelligent, thoughtful, caring, intuitive, ethical, faithful, and true to all that makes life worthwhile. It was a joy, an honor, and a blessing to be her friend, and I pray that the family finds comfort in the legacy of her boundless love. Karen made, and left, this world a better place.
