“I'm very shocked and saddened to hear of Karen sudden passing. She has been so nice and kind to me since we knew each other first in 1999. We didn't meet face to face and there was a long distance between us, but we got each other soon. She was an exceptional colleague, friend and mentor for me. It was so pleasant to work with her. Always thoughtful, positive and very professional. Someone so special can never be forgotten, may her soul rest in peace. Mayumi Kawabe from Japan”

“I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Karen was a wonderful friend, mentor, and co-worker who will be greatly missed. I will miss her laugh and all of the knowledge that she had about all things international. I will miss her telling me "You will figure it out eventually" then she would tell me that is what she was always told by Chris B. when she was learning. My heart hurts for her husband Kurt, her boys, and all her family and friends. Prayers and hugs for all during this time.”
