I was priviledged to have become friends with Karen in the last year. It was an honor and a pleasure, and she helped me through a tough time by being a genuine, loving, and caring friend. I was also lucky to have befriended her family, and my deepest sympathies and love go out to Janet, Jack, Joanne, and all of Karen's family and friends. I will miss her dearly, and will cherish the short time we had together. Goodbye sweet friend, I love you.
