I am deeply saddened to learn of karen"s passing. Throughout treatment, she showed remarkable grace, strength, and dignity that touched everyone involved in her care. It was an honor to walk alongside Karen during such a difficult journey, and the courage she demonstrated will not be forgotten. Sending much love to her dedicated family!

I´m so sorry to hear about Karen. She was always so happy and strong. My thoughts and prayers to her children and her family and loved ones. Rest peacefully Karen

As one of the cofounders of the Unity Games, I had the privilege of spending some time with Karen. As said, her smile was contagious, and her compassion for causes such as ours was obvious. There was no reason for us to ask Karen to help in our fundraising, as that was part of her being The Unity Games board, and the 3500 children that have graduated from the program are all indebted. Peace to you, Karen, and we will not forget your smile.
