Oh man where to start, met Karen and her husband when I moved to S Florida in 2001 I worked in the same shopping center of their consignment store , My husband and me became fast friends with her and Bill. She was like a ray of sunshine you wanted to be around. I watched her effect on people often weather a movie night, dinner out, local entertainment, slot machines she would make a new friend by nights end. Her biggest love and joy of life was her family and she was so proud of them all telling me the stories of her visits with them, the last story she shared only 3 weeks ago was a video Valentina sent of her play acting of her she laughed so hard was a blessing to see. my heart hurts for her family with her sunshine gone hugs to all. Thank you for sharing some of your fire and life with me. Kinder sister of the heart you. Bill and Jim better be waiting at the gates when it's my time Love ya
