I can not put into words our sorrow on Aunt Karen passing away and yet at the same time I know she is in a better place. She always had a special place in our hearts and we will really miss her. I have never known a sweeter person in my life. My children (as all of us were) were truly blessed to have had the chance to know and love Aunt Karen. Love to all of the family, Brenda
