Stan, Andie, & Taylor, Karen was an incredible human being with so much love, care, compassion and concern for others. Please accept my condolences and know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Karen's place in heaven has been guaranteed for a long time, you can't have a heart that full of love and not know for certainty that she has been welcomed with open arms and full hearts. Take care and know that you are loved. Love, Fred McKeen
