I met Karen 1st week freshman year at UD and have remained close friends ever since. Karen was ...is.....will always be the kindest most accepting and unconditional loving person I have ever met. To have her consider me a friend was the best compliment of all. Our hearts are so heavy. We loved Karen dearly and she will never be forgotten. We will dedicate our lives to do good works for others in her name and continue to fight against breast cancer.
With lots of love. Nancy and Mike

Karen, we grew up together and at age 7, I gave you a ring and asked you to marry me. I haven't seen you since we graduated high school but never have or will forget you. Rest in peace and deepest sympathies to your family.

My condolences to the Olenik & McKenna family. I met Karen several years ago while working at Delmarva Power. She was such a kind and tender hearted person. Always greeted me with a smile and we would talk about our children from time to time. The last time I saw Karen was at the DSW shoe store in Newark and we talked briefly. She will be missed. Take care family and know that she is no longer suffering, but resting in the arms of Jesus. You are in my prayers.
God's blessing...
