Dear Gunther Family,
What I appreciated most about Karlene was that she was genuinewithout artifice. She was accomplished in so many ways. She shared with friends her delight in her daughters and grandchildrens achievements and informed them of problems with products sold and governmental programs and initiatives. I miss her friendship!

Dear Tom:
I have no words. I read your email over and over in disbelief.
Whatever I say, will not sooth your feelings and diminish your pain.
I feel lucky to have known Karlene. I have always enjoyed her wit and appreciated her direct demeanor, focus and love for others.
She had special brightness in her eyes when talking about your kids and grandkids, whom she all loved.

Dear Tom and family, you are in my heart, and we grieve together. Karlene was a steadying presence during my years of study in the Gunter laboratory: unfailingly kind, funny, briskly efficient but always happy to stop and help or explain. I am so very grateful to have had the opportunity to know and love you all.
