I remember the fun, laughter, warmth and giving nature of Karen while being around her. Also watching the Flyers and Phillies while enjoying good times! As she will be missed by her loved ones here on earth, our Father in Heaven, her father Frank and the heavens rejoice at the return of their daughter. This isn’t good bye, it’s we’ll see you down the road when our journey through.
Karen was an awesome person and a great colleague! It was my pleasure to have worked with her! May she rest in peace!
I am so sorry for the loss of an incredible woman. Wishing the family comfort & peace in the days ahead.
I worked with Karen at Franklin Mills such a strong woman she was so funny. We meet up again years later I was shopping at Sears when I moved to Montgomery Country. I’m so glad I was in her company again. I will miss you. My prayers for you and your family. RIP
