Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear about Karen's passing. Of the literally hundreds of people I worked with at Miller, she stood out as one of my favorites - and that was attributed to her cheerful and upbeat personality. Always smiling, laughing and taking the edge off the daily stresses. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

I was so sad to hear about Karen. I didn't know she was sick. I also knew her from working at Miller. I will always remember her wonderful sense of humor and vibrant personality. Thinking of you at this difficult time.

Greg and Family, we were so sorry to hear of Karen's passing and kept up to date in your online site. She was truly a warm, fun, loving person that always had everyone laughing. Our prayers our with you and your family.

Greg and Family, Karen's outgoing, positive outlook and her laughter is how we will always remember her. She had the gift of lightening up any situation and at some of those softball games, it was really needed!
You will be missed Karen O!!!
Tommy & Amy Rosenau, Edmond, OK.

My deepest sympathy to all of Karen's family...I worked with Karen at Miller and sat next to her...needless to say we had a blast. She always had a smile and a joke to perk up anyone's day. I attended her wedding and thought the two of you made just a great couple. She was a truly a special person in many people's lives and will be missed. I pray that God gives you the strength to be strong as you journey through another chapter of your lives-- Know that she'll never be far away.

I am so sorry for the loss of Karen! I Jazzercised with Karen for over fifteen years. We often exchanged stories about our daughters. I will never forget how positive she was during her fight. Often seeing her at Arrowhead football and basketball games. She always had a smile on her face with the attitude that everything was going to be OK. She was a courageous woman!!! God Bless your family! Thoughts and prayers!

Greg,Jordyn, Jamie and the rest of Karen's family: I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Karen's passing. We had worked together at MBCO for several years..I khew her when she was pregnant with Jordyn. There were several of us that were members of the "blue topaz" club - Karen and I were part of that club. She was a good friend, although we lost touch over the years, I last saw her when Miller Park had it's opening and I heard from her 18 months ago when I lost my husband...

Karen you will be missed by all that knew you. Our deepest sympathies to Greg, and the girls. You are in our prayers.

Always ready with a warm friendly smile and greeting...that's how I will always remember Karen
during the years we worked together at The Miller Brewing Company. My thoughts and prayers are with Karen and her family.
