I will forever hold onto the memories of surprising Karen in Vegas and being able to attend Justin and Chantel's lovely wedding in Karen and Gary's beautiful backyard.

• All of us have nothing but fond memories of Karen. We truly were blessed to have had such amazing neighbors for over 20 years! We had many chats from our backyards where Karen spent countless hours trying to come up with solutions to keep the deer and rabbits away from her precious garden and beautiful flowers.
