Rich and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. I do understand the loss as I lost my husband a few years ago. You introduced me to your wife, Karen in the cafeteria at UCSF Medical Center. You two were visiting and I was there to be near my husband, he was a patient. With family and dear friends, they will help you get through this tragic loss. Thinking of you, D. Clavenna, Freestone Sales.

What a loss to us all! She was always there for me, good times and bad. I don't know how to express my feelings, she was so real, bright, happy, devoted, sincere, and a great friend. I'll miss you Karen, you were one of a kind, God bless you.

I am so sad to hear of Karen's passing. We worked together for many years and I can say without hesitation that she was smart, funny, very good at business and had more class in her little finger than most people have in their entire bodies. She was a wonderful, thoughtful person and it was my good fortune to have known her. My deepest sympathies are sent to her family.

Karen gave of her time to help others in need. She was always willing to lend a helping hand at "The Family Tree" when she was in town. She will be missed. We all mourn her loss.
