I’m just now hearing of Karen’s passing, and my heart is heavy. I met Karen through my dad, who was a friend of hers, and I remember instantly thinking she was a literal earth angel.
She was one of the kindest, most compassionate souls I’ve ever met. The love she had for her dogs was unmatched, and her warmth radiated in every smile she gave. Karen had a way of making everyone feel like a friend — her presence was pure light.
She will be deeply missed by all who had the honor of knowing and loving her.
Rest in eternal peace, Karen. 🕊️💛
