Karen was a very energetic, outgoing person with a fantastic sense of humour. She loved to be around people. Karen maintained a positive attitude throughout her fight with cancer until the very end. Karen is survived by her husband Marc Fournier; sons Justin and Shane Ducharme; daughter-in-law Jenna Ducharme; stepson Taryn Fournier; ex-husband Dale Ducharme; and aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.

It's pointless for me to write and don't want to talk to anyone but I'm pissed off now. I'm pissed off that I grew up and realized. I'm pissed off that I didn't do things that you wanted to because of my lack of respect. I'm pissed off at myself for being so blind to see what I had right infront of my face. I miss you so much mom and I feel like this is maybe just one way of me getting to you even though I know you're untouchable. I will see you in this so called afterlife sooner than you think mom. I. Love. You. - Posted by: Shane (Son) on: Mar 10, 2014
