George your Mother was such a great person. She will be greatly missed. Yesterday I came across a thank you card she sent me for the tickets awarded to her for a RailCats game for her outstanding performance of going above and beyond (as she often did). She was most thrilled with the fact that you attended the game and she was able to spend an entire afternoon with you!

I enjoyed the time I spent with Karen in China Painting class. I remember how easy she laughed and I always looked forward to seeing her.

My very deepest condolences to Karens family. I had the pleasure of working with her here at the Southlake Campus and she was the most pleasant person to talk to and so very helpful. She will be greatly missed at Southlake.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I was saddened when I heard the news of Karens passing. However may you find comfort in knowing that she not only touched my life but the lives of so many co-workers at Methodist Hospital. Karen was a breath of sunshine to those who were in her presence. I will cherish her kindness and cheerfulness in my heart forever. I pray that the spirit of God comfort your hearts during this most difficult time.

Karen was a kind soul: she was helpful to me and went out of her way to be kind to others. She was very selfless and gave her help to everyone who needed it. She will be missed by all those that knew her.
