This is from Karen’s dearest friend ANN: 

I’m not sure I’m doing this correctly. This is a beautiful picture of Karen. Karen was so full of life and fun.. a rae of sunshine in everyone’s lives that knew her., we were sisters from different mothers. Friendships like that are few and far between. I’ll always hold my memories we shared deep in my heart. You don’t have to be blood to be family. We loved going to the art festivals and bluegrass festivals together and ofcourse shopping especially at Gabe’s. I miss you Karen so much. R I P my friend
