I just learned of Karen's death and am sorry I didn't know earlier but wanted to express my sympathies to the family. Karen and I worked together many years at NSP, and I still remember her so fondly. She was always smiling and helpful, always enjoyed a good laugh. My condolences especially to Kim and Chris; we met a long time ago, but I know what a joy you both were to her. Sympathies to you all in this loss.

Dearest Wally.....Karli, Noah and I are very sorry for Karen's passing. You fought such a long and loving battle with her, Wally; never leaving her side. Your love and devotion to Karen has been very apparent over the years. She was a wonderful,
beautiful lady. A loving mother in law and grandmother to my children. We will miss her and we are thankful that she is now with Jesus and smiling again! We will always remember that beautiful smile that she shared with everyone....We love you!
