Not sure what to say?

The old ACB-1 WPD crowd is thinning, I will be 80 this year. Robin and Kazumi, Dave and Mary are coming from Wisconsin to visit, and we will no doubt talk of you, Ron, and the reunion. There is a bigger reunion coming, and I will see you there.

Your presence is missed, your memory strong in my recollections. Now Ron is gone too. Save a place for me.

The world is not the same without you and I think of you every time I fire up the wok and do a stir fry, which is often. How do things look from up there? Randy

To the family, please accept my deepest condolences. May the family find strength from Almighty God during this time.

I am so saddened to hear this. I always enjoyed our little conversations at the end of each appointment. All of us hear at Dr. Sanford's dental office will miss her. Our condolences to you Ron and all of Karen's loved ones.

Aunt Karen...you are now with Grandma raising hell in heaven! Your infectious laughter could brighten the darkest day. Your love and guidance helped make me the person I am today. I love you and will miss you with all of my heart.

Karen - you came to my home as a stranger (for about 30 seconds) and became a dear friend.

You came to a military reunion as a guest, and became the hostess for the whole event. You took over my kitchen, my house, and my heart.

Your visits, with Ron, with your cousin, became highlights in my life.

A memory of you will bring a smile, not just a smile from my lips and facial muscles, but a smile directly from my heart.

To Ron and to Karen's family, my most sincere...

We have all lost a loving friend. Her smile and laugh were always a big part of her. I will miss the once a year luncheons at her beautiful home for those of us that retired around the same time. She will truly be missed by all that were blessed to have known her. My thoughts and prayers go out to family.

We shall always miss Karen. She was always warm and kind . Condolences to family and friends.
