I had the distinct pleasure of knowing and working with Karen during the 1990’s and 2000’s when we were both working for RCI (then later, Serco-NA, Inc.) on the Army ACAP Contract. She was a very helpful staff member and a truly wonderful Lady. May God Bless her Soul and may she Rest in Peace forever. George, Retired ACAP CIM and ACAP Counselor
Bill, Linda and I were most distresses to learn about Karen’s passing. We were very fond of her and admired her greatly. We cannot make her celebration tomorrow, but we’ll see you at Arlington for the funeral. With heartfelt sympathy, Leo
Bill, Mike and I were saddened to hear of Karen’s passing. She was a kind and wonderful person – a beautiful soul. May the Lord welcome her into the light of His presence and give comfort to you and your family.

Bill, Just hearing about Karen’s passing into new life with Christ today at Ft Belvoir 7:30 Mass-my thoughts and prayers are with you – she is and was a remarkable woman…I was blessed to know her.
A Soldier’s wife and a friend and supporter of the Soldier and their family. Karen was a patriot and dedicated to the service of her Army family. A true friend and dedicated professional. Blessings to the family.
