    Mrs Kunzler i remember my first day of 1st grade at wayne elementary in bloomingdale when you were the teacher. I was very afraid of a new classroom and teacher. i remember when you told us something and we didnt listen, you always made us listen. you taught very srtict and always made sure we stayed in our lines at recess. now i am a sophmore at ICHS and always wanted to visit you again. i always will remember who my first grade teacher was and remember who told me to write on the dotted paper. thank you for the year of teaching 🙂

    Dear Cousins: God is good! Karen lived life fully even in the years of her illness. She never lost her kind and loving ways and faced everything with a robust faith. She has fought the good fight and now is with Jim at the throne of our Creator. I'm sure that Aunt Anne and Uncle Mike are happy to have her there too! We send our deepest sympathy as we know your loss is tremendous and we support you with our prayers. May they ease your grieving in some small way. Love always, Stas & Rafael
