Mike, Randy & Chris,

I'm really so sorry for your loss. She was a super great lady. I remember her often and especially when I write a check. She told me a story one time about writing a check to Price Chopper and she had written Price Choppernoll. I smile when I think of her and will remember her each time I fill out a check.

She was always fun to run into on walks or around town. Big smiles and a great laugh.

You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

Mike and family, & Karen's sisters/brother,
In the summer, 53 yrs. ago, as an 11 yr. old, new to George St., I wondered How on earth am I going to make friends? Well, Karen, a sweet, kind & Angelic 8 yr. old, with a smile & laugh that warmed the heart, took it upon herself to befriend & play with me. Memories of Monopoly and games played at her house hold a special place in my heart. Due to our grade level/age difference, we went on to discover life with our own peers. After reading her obituary, I see that Karen went on into adulthood with the same kindness & caring exhibited as a young child. May you, her family, hold her Legacy of Kindness and Caring close to your hearts during those moments when you need some Peace and Calm.
R.I.P. Karen
Heartfelt Sympathy, Thoughts & Prayers,

I will miss my sister Karen every single day. She was so loving, as well as whip smart, strong, hardworking, capable of doing pretty much anything, and very, very funny. And oh the laughter we shared! I was so lucky to have had her as my big sister for fifty-five years. Though I am bereft over losing her, I will strive to seek solace in the certainty that she is now at peace and surrounded by God's love and our parents' love.
