All who have known Karen are heartbroken at her passing. Karen has been such a loving and kind friend. She was especially wonderful to my beautiful Mother who loved Karen dearly. Karen was smart, kind, fun and beautiful. She was elegant in her manner and warm and caring as a friend. When I think of Karen, I think first of how much she loved her sweet Henry, her beautiful Laura and Bruce and her grandchildren.
She and Henry are such a wonderful couple. What beautiful love and respect they had for each other, and what a joy it was to be with them both. They were my special "puppy coaches" helping me so much with humor and experience in raising my 2 little pups. How proud Karen always was of her family and happy when she was with them all. They are wonderful loving children who made her so proud.
I also think of Karen loving the sun and the beach whether in Florida, Hawaii or New Jersey, and her special love of pelicans. It is so fitting for such a warm person to love the sun so much.
I send my love and sympathy to Karen's family and friends, and thank God for blessing me with Karen's beautiful friendship, and for His loving care of our beautiful Karen in Heaven where she is healthy, happy and loved forever.
