I am so sad to hear this news. I worked with Karen at Kohl's for 6 years and adored her-sincere condolences to the family.

I was so sorry to hear of Karen's passing. I worked with her for 15 years at Kohls, and her bright smile and cheery laugh always brightened my days. It was my privilege to call her "friend". My heart goes out to her entire family as they mourn her loss. I'll sure miss seeing her! Ruth Cpin
