We enjoyed working with Karen at NutraSweet. She was a one-of-a-kind individual and a true friend.

I have knwon Karen for almost 30 years. Initially she worked as my secretaray/administrative assistant afor nearly 15 years. She was sucha pleasure to be near. In the office the work was always done well and she was such a really fun and pleasant person. Others memebers of the department would gravitate toward to the office for good times. She was known as the "Social Chairperson" of the deparatment. Especially to Lynn and Laurie, our thoughts are wtih you.
