Butch and sons.. I am so sorry for another loss in your lives. It has been some time since I saw Karen but I do remember when you first moved here and we became friends with her and Ann. I always like Karen, she was kind and sweet and soft spoken as was Ann. I know you will always miss her terribly and I am praying for you all. May Karen rest in the hands of Our Lord. Kathy Corsi

Aunt Karen was truly one of the kindest, most generous and loving people. She wasn't just my aunt- she was one of my favorite people and I will always treasure the time we spent together. She had such a beautiful soul and a way of making everyone around her feel loved and welcomed. While my heart is broken, I find comfort in knowing she is now at peace in the Loving arms of our heavenly father. I can only imagine the joyful reunion as she is welcomed home by her mom, dad, sister, brother and especially her beloved daughter Ann. Aunt Karen's love, warmth and gentle spirit will remain in my heart forever. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered until we meet again Aunt Karen, may you rest in eternal peace. Sending prayers for comfort to the family through this very sad and difficult time. Love Shari
