In all the years of family gatherings I never knew Aunt Karin to be anything other than friendly and kind. Such a lovely lady.
Rest in Peace Aunt Karin

To the Koch Family,
How saddened I was to read of Karin's passing. I was blessed to have met Karin over 20 years ago, doing something she not only loved, but was good at......golfing. She had a bit of a soft spot for me, as I carried the same name as her daughter. I missed Karin when she left the Tsawwassen ladies group as she was one of our finest. Karin we will be seeing you some day in the future on that wonderful course in the sky. Keep your clubs handy! My sincere condolences to the Koch family. May the memories of such a fine lady live in your hearts forever.....Rita Kendel
