Karen was a very special friend to many of us. How fortunate we were to have shared time with her at the 50th reunion, just one year ago. She gave us the gift of laughter and love. We will never forget her.

I'm so saddened to hear of Karen's passing. I remembered her all throughout elementary and high school. I'm so glad I was able to visit with her during the reunion last year. She was a very gentle soul. Another reminder of how quickly we all pass through our lives.

Karen will hold special memories for myself. Feel so fortunate that I had a chance to reconnect with her at the reunion and then again with a visit a few weeks before her passing and again a few days prior. She was the same sweet girl I remember from high school. I only wish that the 50 year gap in friendship was Filled with more of her warm and sweet times. God Bess your spirit Karen and hope we get to be together once again in a divine place. XO Elaine

Karen was so special. I do not know how we missed each other at the reunion. I was looking for her. Should have asked someone as now it is too late. What a beautiful person..I am so glad I knew her all those years ago. I was blessed!!
