Bob and family, it is with deep regret that we learned of Karen’s death. She was a remarkable woman, one who leaves behind many and great memories for all who knew her well through sharing life with her as a family member, as a friend, or as an acquaintance. Karen will be forever remembered by all whose lives she touched. We are very sorry for your loss. We will remember her in our prayers.
