Karen Gerstenzang Meltzer

I first met Karen in 1989 when I was placed by the YMCA summer program to work at BLC. Coming from Jamaica and traveling for the first time, the experience was daunting. However, Karen seamlessly guided and coordinated my summer, making the transition smooth and memorable.

In the summers that followed, I came to deeply appreciate of Karen's inclusive approach to working with people from diverse cultures. She, along with others at BLC, helped lay the foundation for the success of...

Karen ! You will be remembered for always with deep love, affection and gratitude.

I had the pleasure of meeting Karen many years ago while on the job for Warren County Sheriffs Dept. She was an outstanding lady and so nice to show me around her house. It saddens me that the world has lost another Angel on this earth but she belongs to the Heavens now. Rest In Paradise Karen and thank you for the memory.

Dear Karen, Your kindness, grace and generous heart made life wonderful for all who knew you. How fortunate I am to have known you. I will miss you deeply and keep you in my thoughts forever.

Karen: what a beautiful, gracious, and well-lived life, full of love and generosity. We will all
miss her dearly. Karen always put her “best foot forward” for old Brant Lake! Here’s to Karen! (Drinks in the nook)

To the Meltzer Family- Karen helped create the most wonderful summer memories up at Brant Lake, my sincerest condolences to Laurie and the entire family. Sending thoughts and prayers at this time of sadness.
