My deepest sympathy on the passing of your mother Karen. I have many fond memories of her from the time spent with all of you growing up. I especially remember the times she would invite me to stay for dinner after playing, I thought she was the best cook in the world.

I’m so sorry to hear of hear passing. I really enjoyed spending time with her when I worked for Great Northern Home Care Services and I had the opportunities to stop by and visit with her a couple times after I left Great Northern. I was planning on going to see her this weekend and it makes me very sad that I wasn’t able to see her one last time.
Karen was a joy to be around and so kind hearted, I will miss her.
