I’m truly shocked and saddened to hear of Karen passing. She was my best friend in junior high and high school. We both went to nursing school. I admired her playing the organ. I would go to Holy Trinity church to listen to her playing the organ. She was a compassionate nurse, mother and grandmother. I haven’t seen her in years. She moved to Florida and we lost touch. My condolences to her family. Susan Piekarz Dalo

It is heart breaking to hear of Karen’s passing. So many years spent camping with Karen and her family. Devote members of Holy Trinity and close family friends, Karen brought her talent into our home by teaching me how to play the organ. So many memories.
Love and prayers to Karen’s family.
God Bless
