I am so sorry for your loss. I am Karen's cousin and we grew up going to many family gatherings over the years. I haven't seen Karen for quite a few years but have fond memories of family visits.

I am extending my condolences to Glen and family. This is one of Karen's many cousins. I haven't seen Karen in a long time but I remember back when we were little and our families would get together at holidays and summer picnics, I was also born the same year as Karen. Rest in peace, Karen.

May the God of all comfort strengthen the family during this time of deep sorrow. Those who pass on, God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes. My sincerest condolences. (Psalms 116:15)

I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. While words fail to capture the pain of losing a loved one, we look forward to the time when words will fail to capture the joy of having our heavenly Father return your dear one to you. Your family and friends have my deepest condolences.

I remember when I was a preteen, Aunt Karen got me the book, Women Who Win. I of course would have probably rather have had a toy or something but looking back now, it was a way to inspire me. She took good care of me when I needed it most at a not so wonderful time in my life. Taking care of others in their time of need has been her mission. I was happy to hear her movie stories at our last family reunion. You will be dearly missed by your family but I am certain, taking good care of them still from heaven.

Glenn and Family, We lived down the street from you on Snowball Rd. I don't know if you remember coming to our house after school until your Mom or Dad got home. That was over 30 years ago. Karen and I graduated from St Anselm's together. We will keep you in our prayers.

May God keep Karen in His holy place. I attended St Anselm,s with Karen. She was a wonderful and kind person. The world is a little sadder without her presence.

It was always a pleasure to meet Karen at a poetry reading or the theater. And yes, I received one of her kind letters.

Karen will be dearly missed, she was a terrific mom and grandmother.
It is a shock to lose such an outstanding woman so early.
She will continue to love and support Glenn and her granddaughters while in heaven.
We will miss you Karen.

My sympathy to Glenn, and her extended family. Worked with Karen for a long time. May she rest in eternal peace and light...in God's heavenly kingdom.

I met Karen about 2 years ago at a function at her church (St. Paul's Episcopal). I knew that she was talented, but was really amazed when I read her obit.
May she rest in peace in God's arms.
