Karen was always a valued member here and much as she lived in 3d her actions here were the same.......and all to be admired and cherished. Her contributions were large and yet she managed to remain private. I exchanged some wonderful PM's with her over the years as she also was blessed with a sense of humor that surprised, but only at first.

Like Janie, Jeri, and others, I had noticed she wasn't as active and then around less and less and I figured perhaps her health issues were a part of that but I did nothing to find out........and I feel guilty that I didn't at least try to reach out to her. Way too often I do that.................

I thank Kath Westra for her post and those of others who had known offline.   I wish I had too. She was a friend here though and like the rest of the folks posting, I will miss that quiet presence.

Rest easy Karen
