So sad to hear about Karen. She was a dear friend in elementary school and high school. We didn’t see each other much but kept in touch. I have so many fantastic memories from times we shared. I’ll miss you my friend. Love you bunches Kiki!

My memories of Karen are centered around the time we served as Rainbow Grand Officers. She was always friendly, funny, and kind to others as she lived the teachings of Rainbow. She will be missed by many. For Barbara and her family, I wish you comfort during this difficult time. Until we meet again.
With sincere sympathy and sending wishes of peace and hope.
My sincere condolences. Karen was a wonderful daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt and friend. She will be greatly missed.
Rest in power Karen.
Dang, but we all had us some times. Really glad you were in my life.
