To the Patton Family,
Mrs. Patton was my english teacher at Senn in 1975. She was an inspiring teacher and a wonderful woman. I'll never forget her. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Dear Family and Friends of Karen,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss, I played bridge with Karen many years ago. Sometimes I would see her at Marshall Fields, in Old Orchard, and we would laugh and chat just like we saw each other yesterday. Neither of us have ever been with a loss for words.
Karen was a loving and caring person. A breath of sunshine. Always concerned and made you feel better just by talking to her, with that bright smile. Unending generousity...
