We all loved you so much Karen.   From the time we first met you at 16, you were always with us and always will be in our hearts ❤️ 

You were full of life and happiness and you had so much strength we all admire you. We will always celebrate you and will miss you every day♥️

Karen's and my love for Christmas were exactly the same,  so every year June 25th, we would go to lunch to celebrate only 6 more months till Christmas! It became tradition. She was a wonderful next door neighbor. I will miss her quick wit and her delicious baking,  which she always shared with us. We will miss you Karen, God Bless, Love ❤️  Trish & Jeff
