Message: I was blessed to meet Karen twice, once when we bonded at a meal Katie prepared a few years ago, and recently at Katie's and Jody's wedding when Karen radiated with joy. Her obituary tells that she lived a full life helping others, and raising a wonderful family. May memories of Karen bring peace and joy to Bill, Katie and Michael.

Message: Our love goes out to a wonderful family. We're so glad to have met Karen at Katie and Jody's wedding. We admire her fierce spirit and tenacity, and are very grateful now to be part of the beautiful loving family she helped create.
