I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the family. I was very fortunate to work with her and I was in shock to hear of her passing. She was always willing to lend a shoulder to cry on and listen to you without being judgemental. I learned a lot from her and she always made me feel special. When I met her my children were still small and she would always tell me make sure you enjoy them as much as possible because they grow up fast and you never know what tomorrow will bring. I keep the family in my prayers through these tough times!

I heard of Karen's passing late last night and like everyone else I am shocked and deeply saddened by the news. Karen and I worked together in Miami for over 4 years. We lost contact a few months ago. Karen's advise for me was always the same "enjoy your children they grow up way too fast".
I would like the family to know that my thought and prayers are with each and every one of you.
May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

She was my employee for 5 years. I was fortunate to have been a part of her life for a while. My sincere condolences to her children and family.
