I think of Karen quite often, and I think of her husband, Cliff, and their two children, Joslyn and Scott. Wishing that your tears have become happy tears remembering all of the love and joy and life she brought to you. Sending hugs.

I was so sad to hear of Karen's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. The first memory I thought of Karen was when she came to volunteer at our Girl Scout Brownie Meeting teaching each girl how to make a Holly Hobbie baby doll quilt. Karen had all the pieces cut out and she was prepared when the girls arrived at the meeting to work with her. Each girl was able to make their own doll quilt and they were so proud of themselves. I remember she was so very patient as she worked with the girls.
