1951 ~ 2013 It is with great sadness that we share the loss of an extraordinary individual, mother, Ya Ya (grandmother), aunt, sister, and friend. Karen Kern lost her fight with cancer Monday, July 29, 2013, but never lost her forever giving spirit. We will all remember her " HELLOOO," how's it...
Read MoreWe were very sorry to hear of Karen's passing. Skip enjoyed working with Karen, and I enjoyed getting to know her. When we were new to the area, and Skip was starting to surf, she invited us over so she could show him all the great surf spots - and of course, we heard how much she adored her family! She will be missed.

I absolutely LOVED working with Karen years ago at Pacheco Elementary. She had such fantastic rapport with the students, as well as the staff. She was so quick-witted and hilarious that she made me laugh every single day! (We often talked about her writing material for Billy Crystal!!) My thoughts are with her dear children whom we also spoke about often...yes Anna and Jonathan, I heard all about your adventures at that time:-) Karen will be deeply missed!

Oh Karen! I will miss running into you at all yard/estate sales! You always had a "eye' for finding treasures. You are a treasure! You were such an energetic, fun loving spirit. My prayers to the family

Such a beautiful spirit...always a smile and a hug. She treated her children's friends as her own and they loved her. She will always remain on our hearts!
