Karen you were a great friend, source for information, support in times of trouble, a caring listener, with a dry sense of humor and a love for your family. We will miss you and the joy you added to our lives. Your spirit lives on in Daniela and in the stories Dan and Scott will tell her about you. Peace. Claudia and Bob Tyrrell
We love Karen and will miss her deeply. She was such a positive light in our lives. She was always so supportive and loving to all. She is a special person to all who know her. Sympathies to Dan and Scott and family. We are here for you during this difficult time.
Dan , God has promised that comfort will come, that peace will be restored, that tears will eventually cease. At US Airways we called Karen the ‘travel agent’ because she always had helpful hints for us when we were going on trips. She knew all the angles of non-revenue travel. We always enjoyed having both of you at our annual dinner parties. Our deepest sympathy to the family for your loss.
