Sorry to hear this news..I remember when Karen came to Hartsbrook...her gentleness and quiet cheerfulness with the children.

Karen provided such memorable warmth and creative comfort in my daughter's afternoons in kindergarten. Blessings on her journey and condolences to those who cared for her.

Karen's warmth and patience were so important to my young son. She introduced him to books he loved for years.

As a Hartsbrook parent from many years ago I so appreciated Karen's kindness and warmth. Blessings to her and to those of you who comforted and cared for her.

So sorry to hear this news. I worked with Karen many years ago and she was such a kind and fun person. Best wishes to her family and may good memories help sustain you at this difficult time.

Dear family of Karen, I have many lasting memories of Karen at Hartsbrook. What a cozy and loving space she and German provided for the tired children every afternoon. I still have some red and white knitted mushrooms she made for my puppet shows, and some tiny sparkling bags for treasures. With much love and sympathy, Meg Fisher
