Very sorry for your loss. Karen was a great person who truly loved her family and her late hubby. I worked with Karen many years ago at Family Court.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. I worked with Karen (Cookie Monster) she was funny and a joy to work with and as a friend. We kept in touch after she retired. Going to miss calling her for recipes and just to catch up. RIP Cookie Monster.
