I so loved being dorm mates in college with Karen. I cherish that time, those memories and our friendship at Bethany. Karen was such a joy to me and I will never forget the late night studying, PJ parties, donut and ice cream runs, laughter and antics. I pray for her family and friends - that God will envelope each of you in His peace and strength. ❤

I had the pleasure to meet Karen only once, but I have known her fine children, Karl and Kirsten through the wonderful musical experiences we have shared together. I know from knowing Karl and Kirsten that Karen was a loving mother who did a beautiful job in rearing her children. My heartfelt condolences go out to Karl, Kirsten, their father Raymond, and all of Karen's loved ones and friends. May the Lord be near to you in your sorrow.

She made friends with whomever she came into contact with, and did everything she could to avoid or diffuse volatile situations. All who knew her knew She LOVED life, and the words "defeat" or "give up" were not in her...
