Carl, I was so very sorry & saddened to hear of Karen´s passing. She was indeed a wonderful blessing to many. May our gracious Father, God give you all you need as you grieve her loss while rejoicing that she is whole & with Jesus! So sorry we could not be at her Celebration of Life surface due to being out of town!

Oh how this beautiful woman impacted my life! She opened her home to care for my Mary as a pre-schooler, so that I could study God´s word as a new Christian. Kiana was Mary´s little friend during that time. I am forever grateful to her for her loving servant heart. To the Dufendach family, my heart is with you as you feel this huge void without your precious mother. We will all be together again one day! For now, we trust in God´s plan. . .

I did not know Karen except for chance meetings. I worked with her husband at Warner Norcross and Judd for almost 20 years. My condolences to her family in this period of mourning.
