Mike (Brooke), Dan (Lisa) & Laura (Scott) Our deepest sympathies and condolences are with you and your entire family. I respected Karen, and Jeff immensely and by far they were some of the best people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. I hope you can find comfort knowing she's at peace with Jeff.
Please know that you'll be in our prayers.
Jose Villarruel & Family.

I had the pleasure of knowing Jeff and Karen for many years. Down to earth good people. They both left this world too early but now they are together again.

I'll always remember Karen as a sweet gentle soul. We shared several classes together during high school. What a wonderful classmate and friend.
