I am a long-time friend of Karen's sister, Amy, and as such, I feel as though I've lost a family member, though we've never met. I know how much Karen meant to her family, and I can only hope and pray that her memory gives each of you the strength to hold fast to one another and to go on. Please accept our condolences, and know we are with you in spirit.

Karen worked with me when I was teaching Kdg. at Adrian. She was such a talented and loving person. She was very special and will be greatly missed but she will make heaven an even better place to be.
