Karen was the spunk of our lives and we will miss seeing her breathtaking sky-blue eyes. She left this life the same way she came into it, standing firm and persistent in doing things her way.
Karen had a heart of gold and for those she loved, she loved with passion. Her sons and her grandchildren were the light and pride of her life.
We now realize it is just as hard to say goodbye as it was to watch her suffer. She will be missed greatly but we are all thankful we had her in our lives. May she find peace.
