We are so saddened to hear of Karen's passing. So many memories come flooding back of Karen, Don, and Ken growing up in the neighborhood. We miss Diane, too with all her words of wisdom. Those were wonderful times. Please let us know if we can help in anyway. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Condolences to the whole family especially Glenn, Ken, Don, and April.

Karen was a great person, mom, coworker and friend. She always kept an eye out for me when we used to work together. She taught me that you can be who you are and still hold your ground in any situation. I will truly miss her and her leadership. My heart goes out to her family. Arrivederci Karen. Che gli angeli ti portino a casa.
