I am so saddened to hear of Karen's passing. She and I both rented spaces at the same massage studio for several years-she was indeed gifted! I know she will be missed- she was a beautiful person. My sincere condolences to her family.

My sympathies to you all. I didn't know Karen well and yet when I went to visit her and give her hug for Maureen, we had a wonderful visit. She wrote me messages so fast I could barely keep up! That visit showed me her fighting spirit and her love for you all. I know without a doubt that she is with you all and best of all she is well. God bless.
