Bob,please accept our most sincere condolences on the loss of your dear wife, Karen. We are truly saddened to learn she had lost her battle with cancer.
I first met Karen through our mutual friend, Mary Ann Pintor,that was decades ago... when they were attending Roosevelt University. Karen was always fun to be with...smart, caring and a little outrageous, which made everyone like her even more!! We'd occasionally run into one another and even shared a few meals with both of you at Saban's Place!
Forgive us for not attending the wake or funeral mass but I learned, just yesterday, that Karen had passed away. Bob, your wife was an amazing individual, wife, mom, grandmother, sister, daughter and friend to so many.
You have our deepest sympathy and we will keep you and your family in our prayers.
Shirley & Bill Duray

We are so very sorry for your loss. Karen and I met at Kelly H.S. We had same interest and mutual friends. Our kids went to St. Syms together, where she did an outstanding skit imitating Joan Rivers at one of our schools annual events.Karen got me a job at Westlake Hospital, like she did others. She always was looking out for others. She was thoughtful and loyal. I always enjoyed our FB messages and looking at the beautiful pictures she posted of her family. Karen and Bob raised a wonderful and loving family, just like she was. I will miss her. Rest In Peace my dear friend❤ love , Bonnie and Dave Sepulveda and family
