I am so sorry to hear this. Karen and I were friends from grade school thru high school. Then caught up with her again while she was at Zoomerz. I knew the entire family , especially her brothers. Such a sweet and caring family. Karen was a friend to many, would give help to anyone needing it. A dear friend gone too soon. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

She was the best mom a son could have had. I messed up alot throughout my life and she was the only person whom never turned her back on me. She always new that I had potential to be someone in life, I'm so grateful that I got to show her that she was right. I would have hated her not to know that I was not going to be alright when she left. Not only me but she never turned her back on any of her family. I saw my mother give when she didn't have it to give. She done without her hole life to make sure the people around her had what they wanted. Looking back I really realize what all she gave up, and didn't have to but she did because she loved us. I can't say enough positive about her if u new her that said enough. Very amazing woman. RIP mom, from your son with love
