I first met Karen in 1989 when I was placed by the YMCA summer program to work at BLC. Coming from Jamaica and traveling for the first time, the experience was daunting. However, Karen seamlessly guided and coordinated my summer, making the transition smooth and memorable.
In the summers that followed, I came to deeply appreciate of Karen's inclusive approach to working with people from diverse cultures. She, along with others at BLC, helped lay the foundation for the success of many individuals, myself included.
I hold Karen in my cherished memory, and I hope her legacy continues to inspire others. May her memory live on.

I had the pleasure of meeting Karen many years ago while on the job for Warren County Sheriffs Dept. She was an outstanding lady and so nice to show me around her house. It saddens me that the world has lost another Angel on this earth but she belongs to the Heavens now. Rest In Paradise Karen and thank you for the memory.

Karen: what a beautiful, gracious, and well-lived life, full of love and generosity. We will all
miss her dearly. Karen always put her “best foot forward” for old Brant Lake! Here’s to Karen! (Drinks in the nook)

I was one of the Red Wing cohort -- in the mid-1940s-1950. What a wonderful time that was and how Karen stood out from our group. I remember that even then she was an excellent rider - beautiful form.

Karen....You and I go back many, many years to Camp Red Wing and Camp Brant Lake. You were at my college graduation and I spent many days and nights at your home on Brant Lake. You had grace,humor and beauty and enriched my life.
