Karen and I worked together and her first and lasting impression she made upon me when we first met and over the years was that she was always an incredible force of positivity, joy and kindness. I really got to know her at the Home Show events we'd work over the weekends. If I'm honest, no one wanted to be there, really, except Karen. She was so happy to be there connecting with clients and employees and always made the day more fun. I learned a lot from her in those moments (and so many other moments) about being present, choosing positivity and what a difference that can make in your day. I will truly miss her but she promised she would stay in touch, one way or another so I look forward to her popping into my thoughts which will always bring a smile to my face and heart. My sincerest condolences to her family. My thoughts are with you all.
