Read MoreKaren was such a great person. When I went back to the MTA Boston office, she took my job in Lynnfield. Every time she would call me with a question about the office, we would end up laughing!
Rest in peace, Karen.

Karen was my administrative assistant in the Legal Services Division at the MTA. She was among the smartest people that I have ever met. She was also kind, funny and wise. We shared a love for Donny Hathaway’s music and I will think of her whenever I hear one of his songs. The world is diminished now that she is gone.

I remember Karen’s giggle as a child. Whenever I saw her she always had a genuine smile. As life often does, we move in opposite directions but always remember those things that remind us of home, and those that we love. I pray that her children and grandchildren find comfort in the memories they share and the peace of knowing that she is resting in perfect peace.
Love,
Bridget Porter
