My heart is so sad at the loss of this lovely lady. Karen brought such joy and happiness into our family and gave my brother Ike a rich, full and wonderful life. My parents loved her like a daughter and she was a kind and loving sister-in-law to me and my sister Maria. I will miss her beautiful face, her sweet laugh and especially her generous kindness. I know that over time the sadness will fade, but I also know that the memories and joys she shared with us will remain vivid in our hearts forever. To her loving family, I wish you peace and joy knowing that you had such a wonderful mother and grandmother. To my dear brother, I can only share a bit of your heartbreak and let you know that I will be here to help you into the next chapter of your life.

Dearest Torrey,
So many memories of your amazing mom. Always full of smiles, always there to give great advise when we felt the world was caving in.
She was a great mom even to those of us that hung out at your home way to much in our younger years. She was also a great grandmother as we started to have our own children as well.
I know she loved you so much Annika, Eric and Alicia because she was so filled with love for her posterity.
Torrey, you will always have your mom in your heart. You and your mom are part of each other. You are like twins.
My Love and prayers to you all at this very difficult time.
