Karen brought such a full measure of sunshine and love into every room she entered. Her children and her home reflected the love, grace, respect, honor and yes, humor, that she carried for everyone in her life. She was a committed mother, wife, grandmother and considered her family and friends her greatest gift and treasure. She embraced life and lived it well. She will be missed and what a joyous reunion awaits us! I imagine her planting a garden even now to greet us in heaven when we get there. Love to you all.
