I haven't seen Karen since high school but this breaks my heart to hear. She was always such a bright, happy and fun soul. We chat often (even when we should've been being quiet) in class and in the halls, study halls or the cafeteria. She always made me smile and had something encouraging to say. We shared the fun trait of orneriness. I'll keep my fond memories of her in my heart. Prayers and condolences to her family.
