I worked with Karen at Honeywell. I remember her as kind and smart and a pleasure to have as a co-worker. Rest in peace my friend.

Eddie and family we are sorry for your loss. Max and I lived next to you guys along time at Davis and always loved to visit and tell stories. Karen always had that smile that would make anyone want to smile back.
