Recollections & Sympathy For the Family
Post Comment
So sorry for the family's loss. Karen was a great lady. I remember the first night we met I was sitting listening to my boyfriend's band and she just walked right up to me and said "Hi I'm Karen, lets go!" As she dragged me out onto the dance floor, a complete total stranger. from that point on we were dance partners every time I saw her out. she had such a great personality. She was always impeccably dressed also never a hair out of place. I will definitely miss my dance partner and friend. Rest in peace Karen.
