We missed seeing Karen every Sunday at Christ United Methodist in MB after she moved and we were so saddened to hear of the news of her passing. She was such a sweet, loving and vibrant person that was always willing to give of herself. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family. She will forever live on in our hearts. May God give you strength and comfort to carry you through this most difficult time of grief.

I am so very sad. Karen came into my life for just a short time but shared a huge amount of love. Karen was wonderful to my parents as well as anyone she took in. Now Karen is being cared for. God loves her so much.
