Karen was an amazing friend. Her personality lit up the room. I loved all her fun stories about her experiences and adventures. She was so kind, funny, and genuine. She will be missed and her light will always shine bright in my memories of her. Praying for her and her family during this difficult time. Thinking of you all.

I was so sorry to learn of Karen’s passing only today. She was a person of deep faith and a very caring and courageous mother who had many challenges to overcome. I believe she did the best that she could. I will miss her even though we had not seen each other for a few years. RIP Karen.

I remember the smile from our elementary school days at Curtis, and it was a pleasure to see you when you had a carrier route that went by my house. A smile I will never forget. Rest in Peace. Joanne Neal-Bonollo
