D Loe wrote a sympathy message

“My heart is broken for Billy, Shawn, Ben, Mike, and Karen’s extended family. She was my dearest friend, and an integral part of my life for over 65 years. Karen was especially known for her care and compassion for others ~ including her menagerie of furry rescues. She was truly beautiful inside and out, and her smile could light up a room! Vaya con Diós, dear friend. May you rest in God’s loving arms forever.”
