I remember Karen as a sweet and kind girl. A year has passed since she left us to be in her heavenly home. She is sadly missed but not forgotten. In our hearts. Love, Aunt Fay & Uncle Non

I was so sorry to hear about Karen. We had kind of lost touch lately......I had always hoped she would get back home to visit. I was privileged to be her friend for many years, and be in her wedding. Rest in peace, my friend.

I remember Karen as a baby when I would walk to her home to see her and play with her. Also when she was 5 years old she was a flower girl in my wedding. I remember how beautiful she looked the day if her wedding.
