To Bob and the entire family of Karen´s, Kim and I would like to express our deepest sympathy to you all.
It was a great friendship we shared with from when Kim joined the chorus at Northside and after practice we would go out to dinner with the gang!
Karen was always willing to accept a challenge and would go full speed ahead with it and completed it!
We are sending you our prayers for the family and her friends, God bless Karen for the love and support she gave to others!

Karen was one of the nicest and sweetest ladies I had the honor to work with at Chickahominy Middle School. She was always so genuine in conversation and happy to see you. I loved running into her and Bob in various places around town! She was a gem and will be missed! Her legacy lives on in her beautiful family. My deepest condolences to you all.

I´m so glad to have existed at the same time as she did sending you all so much love and strength during this horribly difficult time, she loved you all so much and it was so clear to see that. Love you all so much
