Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry to hear of Karin´s passing. Her laughter was contagious and always brought life to a party. She will be missed. RIP Karin.

I have such fond memories of working with KAREN at Orchard Heights Elementary in Port Orchard. Sometimes we commuted together and the rides home were interesting.I lost touch with her over the years, but my last memory was her pulling into our driveway on a motorcycle. She was just so much fun to be around and I loved her laugh. Rest in peace, KAREN.

I met Karin my first year of teaching, 1988, worked on her campaign and served with her at TEA. I will always remember her saying "knowledge is power, it´s not just who you know but what you know". Condolences to her family Nanci

Dear Karin. We had so many adventures together and through them all we laughed and cried together. Love you and miss you but we will meet up I know. Love Peggy

Rest in peace Karin!

Rest in peace sweet Karin!

So many memories with Karin growing up on 30th Street and I´m grateful for all of them. Rest in peace my treasured friend.
