I just found out about Karen's passing yesterday, because I have been on vacation. I am so sorry! I would have been there. I am praying for your family. Some of the best times of my life was spent at your house with her in middle school. Even though I haven't seen her in many years, we got to talk last year on the computer a few times. I feel so blessed to have known her!

Karen, when we first met about 10 yrs ago, wow you were always so feisty and could light up the room. I remember your sweet smile and always a kind word. I will think of you each time I wear the beautiful earrings you made. Rest in peace with our Lord Jesus:)

I was blessed to be able to grow up and know Karen in so many ways. She was very strong in her fight to live with her condition and always had a smile on her face and a kind word to say. Karen you will always hold a special place in my heart and your spirit and memory will carry on through all of the lives that you touched. Rest peacefully in the arms of your FATHER in HEAVEN my friend!

We never had a chance to meet Karen, however through her parents we know she is very much loved and will be greatly missed. Our prayer now is for our heavenly Father to wrap his arms around you and drench you in his warmth and comfort and love.
