She will always mean the world to me. I hate the idea that my kids won´t meet her on earth, but they will forever know about the amazing and beautiful legacy that will outlive us all. Much love to Terry and the family, she was a bright spot in every life she touched!

She is one of the best songwriters, musicians and singers I'd ever heard. The kindest heart and the funniest of responses and memories for me. I never got to meet Karen in person, but she adorned our home many times via her music. Every time I played her music on my show, it got a lot of likes and interest.

Heaven got an angel and we were all blessed to know her while she was here. She's on a different mission now. I'm sure she will be speaking into budding songwriter's ears out there. Love to Terry and Family, from our Family. Rest in Power and Joy, Karen. (and a little track 14 when I need it, all day long. If you know, you know)
