I am deeply saddened by Karen’s passing.  She was a wonderful friend and neighbor and I will miss her very much. In the short time that we knew each other, we had a very strong bond.  She was a fun loving person, a deeply caring human being and a person who was always there for others.  Karen had a lot of faith, and I know that right now she is one of God’s angels.

Rest in peace my dear friend.  I will think about you every day and I will have some great memories of the good times we shared.

 I hope you know how much you were respected and loved.

Love,
Leslie
