To the Yoh family: Karen is among the kindest, most generous, thoughtful, and fun-loving people I know, and I am truly honored to have been able to count myself as her friend. Please know that your entire family is in my thoughts.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Yoh, Hal, Mike, Jeff & Bill:

Please accept my deepest sympathies at the loss of Karen. As Wendy Elmo said so eloquently at the service, Karen had many wonderful qualities of which she seemed unaware. Her enthusiasm, desire and ability to be there for others, her generosity, and her fun-loving approach to new situations are just a few that stand out in my mind. She had a talent for bringing together people from various environments and creating tight knit groups. She introduced me to many people who have remained close friends and I will forever be indebted to her for that. I will hold in my heart the many memories of the special times we shared.

My thoughts are with you all at this sad time.

Sincerely,

Missy Brown

July 1, 2007

Dear Yoh family,

Words can not come close to expressing the sadness we Brown girls feel at this time. Karen was always thoughtful, kind and most importantly a good friend to all who knew her. My memories of dads years spent at D&Z have always been wonderful ones as I know they were for him. This is due to the special people all of the Yoh's were to us, and Karen was a shining example of that. I remember being so touched and surprised to see Karen at dads viewing, but I shouldn't have been as that was just her way to represent your family so graciously.

Please accept our condolences on behalf all of the Brown girls and Fred and Joy in heaven.

Fondly,

Missy Brown and her sisters Susan, Betsy, Nancy and Barbara
