You always radiate sunshine. You are sorely missed my friend. I am truly so grateful to have known you and so sad that I was unable to attend your send off. You were the best of the best. Carol

Dear Larry and Family, I am so sorry to hear of Karen's passing and will treasure out fun times together as part of the Forever Young group spouses. Karen was a delight to be with, always fun, caring and a friend. Her laugh filled a room or should I say cackle... Thinking of you all in your grief and may all of the wonderful memories you shared comfort you. Love, Patti Garceau

Larry and Family. Debbie and I were so sorry to hear of Karens passing. She was a wonderful lady who was always welcoming when we got to see her. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

I remember her well and with warm thoughts. I live with her brother for several years and always remember when she would visit her Mom and Dad. Sunday brunches in different locations every Sunday. Rest in peace sweet lady. Marian

Oh no! My heart is broken. Loved this lady so much. She was just the best. The world is much dimmer without her in it. I will miss that smile and twinkle in her eye. My sincere condolences to Larry,her beautiful kids and grands.

Larry, I´m so sad to hear of Karen´s passing. I know you´re heartbroken losing that cute, creative, caring, compassionate crazy little character who brought you so many years of love and laughter. I first met Karen in the early 1990s during her Kelso City Council service when I was a TDN reporter. She struck me as a person who truly cared for her community and wanted to make the best decisions for its residents. I felt fortunate to later cross paths and become friends with both of you....

Missing you Karen. So many good times shared together over 40 years. Love, Jean

Oh, what a shock! Karen was such a lovely person and a passionate supporter of the Kelso School district. Gay and I both so appreciated her caring manner, great ideas, and willingness to volunteer. She kept us connected in supporting Monica and many other causes. What a legacy of love and service she leaves!
