It was just today that I learned of your passing, with much sadness. You were a great friend, a colleague, and a mentor. You will never be forgotten!

The Logan family has always been so very dear to us! They were my husband's second family, and eventually adopted me- their Miami Cuban! My greatest memories of dating my husband Pat include the Logans. No words can actually express how saddened we are about the loss of Karen. She will forever be in our hearts. Karen, you are in heaven now, with no more pain, and finally spending time with your dad.  You were excited about seeing him again! Give him a big kiss from us. RIP, beautiful lady, and protect us here on earth. I love you forever! Maruchi (and Pat) Valent

I haven't seen my cousin Karen in years, but I remember how kind she always was, and how she had this huge, gorgeous smile.  Judging by the photos people have posted, she never lost that beautiful smile.  My heart goes out to the whole family--I am so sorry for your loss!

Karen you will be forever missed. I loved our talks and loved our laughs. I especially loved that I finally got you to stop wearing pantyhose. I will be you. Say hi to Dave for me! Until we meet again xoxo

You are now with God.May you find peace and happiness in your new journey.Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family..Donato, Michelle, Arianna, and Gianna Schettino.

I'm so glad I was able to meet such a strong beautiful women inside and out, who I never saw without a smile. One who raised such beautiful children, one who has inspired me to never give up, Karen you've left a mark on my life. My thoughts and prayers to the family, I love you all!

This is how I will remember Karen....smiling, laughing, and full of hope.  I will miss you my friend.

Thinking of all of you during this unimaginable time and keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers. Remembering fun times boating with our families with much laughter always. God Bless you Karen and may you rest in peace. With Much Sympathy, The Spalding Family Michael, Jennie, Alexis & Ashley

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.  May you always remember the good times and have peace that she is home.

Karen you will be forever missed!  Thank you my friend for so many talks and laughs!  We raised our babies together and shared so many wonderful memories! My heart is heavy, but I know we will laugh together again one day and you are in the arms of Jesus!  Love and hugs until we meet again!!!

Karen touched the lives of so many.She was an encouragement to me through different seasons of our lives .A beautiful person who made us all laugh and whom ever she met they felt her love and warmth. She cherished her relationships and was humble to ask for help. God Bless the entire family and all whom she touched.I will miss her.

I didn't personally know Dawn but my friends at work spoke so highly of her.may God watch over the entire family. Thoughts and prayers.

Brooke, Brenden, Blair and all family members.  I only knew mom for 2 years but oh how I loved her from the minute we met. She was not only beautiful inside and out but she had strength that was beyond belief. Her children were her life. She always spoke of you and I will truly miss seeing her and talking with her. Having lost my sister last year from this dreadful disease I knew what she was going thru and what to expect. She was amazing and will be a beautiful angel watching over all of you. I promised her I would help watch over you and I will be here whenever you need anything.  Love and hugs Deb Thrash

At times like this it is difficult to find the right words.  I want to express my sympathy for your loss.  Karen was a childhood friend.  We were in and out of each other's lives throughout our adult years.  We became close again in recent years. She was smart and strong.  I enjoyed listening to her opinions and hearing her express herself.  She was a woman with a lot of depth and strength.  She loved her children and was worried about them.  She spoke about them in every single one of our conversations over the last few years.  Even on Friday as she was dealing with her pain and final plans, she spoke of her children and her family.  I have some wonderful memories of our teen and college years.  I hold close the words and feelings we shared in recent years. I will miss Karen dearly.  I hold you all close in my heart as you suffer through this loss.  I hope you find comfort in the memories of her throughout your lives.
