Dear Girls and family, I'm sorry to hear. Your Mom was such a special lady, always fun, and full of witty replies. : D I admired her wit, so very sweet and optimistic. She just always knew the right thing to say. She'll be so very missed by many. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Rhonda, Leslie, and family -- My thoughts and prayers are with you on the passing of your Mom and my friend, Karen. I worked with your Mom at Red Gold for many years. She was a bright light in my life there. She got me through many times when things were bad in my department. I will never forget the day she retired and I cried at her party. Your Mom was a wonderful lady. I miss her terribly but I am thankful she is no longer in pain.

So sorry to hear about Karen. We seem to lose touch without the family reunions. I will miss Karen as I do all our cousins. Always will remember her and envy her as she always had beautiful tans. Will be thinking of all of you.

So sorry for your loss. I liked being around Karen as a kid and when in Portland I would visit her at the jewelers, restaurant ( The Spot ), or where ever she was working. She was a Great person. Last saw her a few years ago at Bob and Donna's and she was in better health then the last few years. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
