Karen Burgess Smith

So sorry to hear of Karen's passing. I guess its true the good go young! I remember Karen when she and Randy first met I was living at Randy's guest apartment at 11 Badger Street, in Concord, NH she was always so pleasant and nice to everyone! Im really sad to hear this news. I cant believe its true.....

I am so very saddened to learn of Karen's passing. She brightened the world around her with her talent, her smile, her wit. One could not possibly feel down after a 'Karen encounter'. My sincere condolences to Randy and all of Karen's family. I shall keep Karen and you all in my prayers.

I just received the news of Karne's death. Karen was such a star in the arts. I met with her at Lamont Gallery and left with more appreciation of her talent and dedication. We traveled a couple of times to meet with those interested in the arts- she was a impressive! My condolences to her family

The first time I heard Karen give a meditation in the school chapel, I was overwhelmed by her wit, her obvious kindness, and her sheer moxie -- she spoke about teaching art in prisons. I made it my mission then and there to be her friend, and friends we were. If one measure of a life well lived is to note the joy one brings to others, then Karen's was a life lived superbly. We will all miss her.

My condolences to Randy and the family. Karen is at peace and may you, Randy, find peace and solace in the loving embrace of your family and friends. Thinking of you. Don Briselden

I wanted Randy to know that I am thinking of him. I loved working with Karen at PEA. We collaborated on a number of projects and I daily walked to her office to say hello. What a bright star in my life! My condolences to the family!

Sending my deepest sympathy to Karen's family. I have fond memories from years ago. Karen was a bright light and a beautiful person.
