Karen Lee Byrum

I so enjoyed the times I worked with Karen both as Max's mom during the science bowl when he was in 5th grade and as Jeannie's mom during the last three years. My heart goes out to Max, Jeannie, and the rest of the family.

Please know that my thoughts are with all of Karen's family especially now. May memories of her bright light and warm love bring comfort to your hearts.

We lost touch when Mike and I had to move to Portland,but Mike and Karen were very good friends of ours,especially when my Mike lost his right arm at Beaver lumber.I'll never forget how they used to come visit us and it didn't matter at all to (then) baby Max that Mike only had one hand. Mike, I have lots of great memories and pictures of those days so long ago.My deepest sympathies and prayers go out to you. Sincerly, Linda Sue Morrison (Harris)

Karen was a very special person and I will miss her beautiful smile. She was compassionate, caring and gracious during her treatments at the Kaiser clinic where I'm a volunteer. I offer my heartfelt sympathy to her children and husband.

My heart goes out to you all as a family. I worked with Karen in the Special Ed classes and saw her grow from nervous to competent in her field. I thought a lot of her and will miss her. Max, I love you. Do your mom proud! May you all bind together and support each other during this time of grief. My prayers are with you.

Karen and I have crossed paths for forty years. She was a genuinely good person. My deepest sympathies to Mike and the kids.
