Karen was adored and loved by all who knew her, for she loved wholeheartily and gave unconditionally. Her greatest accomplishment was her children and her grandchildren. Her faith in God was deep and she lived her life everyday based on his word and principles and in return she created an empire not in wealth but in love, kindness, understanding and forgiveness. It is because of this her legacy will live on through her family and in all of those who were blessed to have known her, if you knew her, you respected and loved her.
