You may not remember me. My family and I lived kitty corner from you when you lived on Commercial Street in Appleton.
I only learned of Karen's passing today and I was deeply saddened to hear the news.
Over the years Karen and my parents lost touch. Shortly after my dad was diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer Karen ran into him in a restaurant. The friendship picked up where it left off. Karen was there at the end with him and was the one who called to...

Dear family of Karen,
You do not know me because we never met. However, Karen & I were in Bible Study together Tuesday Mornings at the Fox River Mall.
I would like to share comfort in "Life is but a stopping place".
Life is but a stopping place, a pause in what's to be, a resting place along the road to sweet eternity. We all have different journeys, different paths along the way. We all were meant to learn some things, but never meant to stay...

I am heart broken to learn of Karen's passing. I knew Karen very well. When I was 11 years old and was living in Wisconsin... I first met Karen at the Menasha Library (back in 1990)... I walked up to the desk she worked at and I told her "You're Pretty." She wrote me a note back and said "Karen, you're prettier. -Karen". She always knew how to make people smile. My Heart goes out her family and other close friends. Karen will be sadly missed. I Love you Karen and I already miss you very much !

Dear Rick and family,

We wish to express our deepest sympathy and love. Karen will be missed so much by us and everyone who knew her. We will miss her laughter and smile. Every time we see a beautiful sunset, we will be thinking of Karen. We had so many wonderful times together with the both of you. As life continues on, we know her spirit will be surrounding all of us for she will always be in our hearts.

I am very sorry for your loss. I use to see her when she stopped at her daughter tracey's house to feed the cats. She was a very sweet lady and loved by her family. I know she is looking down and watching her family each day. So remember the good times and smiles and keep that warm feeling in your heart for her.

My prayers go out to you .
