November 6, 2020 at 10:40 pmTo Karen’s family and friends.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time.
I met Karen and her mom about 10 years ago, when both our sons were in the Janeway for day surgery, we exchanged phone numbers and been friends ever since.
I was absolutely heartbroken to hear of her passing. She was such a friendly out going person, who loved life and always had a beautiful smile.
Karen was very proud of her husband who worked away to provide for his loving family. She would beam with pride and speak highly of her 3 beautiful children. We had many conversations over the years. Her friendly personality was how we became friends. It’s something I will always cherish. I will never forget you my beautiful friend. Rest easy, until we meet again.
I will always have a piece of my heart smile whenever I think of you 💜
Jennifer, Chris, Tyler & Hannah
