Dear Bob and family,
Just heard about your wife’s passing. Pleases accept my condolences and deepest sympathies. Can’t imagine the difficult time you and your family are going through. You will be in my prayers. 🙏

I was so shocked and sadden to hear about the loss of Karen. I know Karen from Holiday Dental. I been cleaning her and Bob's teeth for 20 years. I remember one time when Karen was in the chair the lights went out and we lighted a candle. Every time for her recall visit we would always laugh over it. I will miss our hygiene visit,talks and Karen's smile. She would always talk about her family but most of all her grandchildren.  Her face would light up. May she rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with you Bob and your family. With deepest sympathy  Judy

Bob  so sorry to hear of Karen’s passing. I want you to know that you and your Family are in my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time.

Bob- So sorry to hear of Karen’s passing.  Through her memorial, I can only imagine how much she enjoyed her life and especially her grandchildren.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you, your boys and their families.  Bo and Pam Henning

Dear Bob and family.  We were so sad to hear about Karen.  May all your fond memories of her and the good times you all had together help you through this sad time.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Never a dull moment with Karen, I will cherish the memories.

Karen brought laughter, joy, happiness, and love into every room she entered.  Her deep love for Bob, Ryan, Dan, Melissa, Amanda, Jack, Maggie and her ‘girlfriends’ was exemplary to all who knew her. Karen’s meals, smile, humor, Facebook posts, hugs and kisses, and ‘Mexican train’ matches will be truly missed.
Love, Gail & Larry

Bob, 
We are so sorry to hear about the loss of our friend Karen. We will miss her very much. We had so many good times and memories.    We will never forget her unique laugh, and how much fun we’ve had with her.   Love and prayers to your family.

Love Karen and Mark Breitweiser

Beach days some of Karen’s  favorites. She is one in 1 million.

This may look like Dan but just one more joke. I hope you are up in heaven and  pulling a prank on someone.

Hollyoaks crew we love you, Karen. Our heart goes out to the family.

I love you, my friend. There are way too many memories to list years and years and years of memories April Fools’ Day will never be the same.

Dear Bob and Family, 
I’m so sorry for your precious loss. 
I have lots of fun and fond memories of us together along with Jill when we were young.  
I will keep you in my prayers. 
Sincerely
Donna

So many great memories over the years with Karen and Bob. Always a good time and so many laughs together. You’ll be greatly missed my dear friend Karen,  My condolences to Bob, Ryan, Dan and family. ❤️🥲✝️

A life well lived, a woman so loved. The smiles in the tribute video say it all. Ryan and Melissa, we send our love and condolences to the entire McLaughlin clan. We pray the cherished memories will bring solace as you move through this heart wrenching time.

Mr. Mac and family,
My thoughts are with all of you at this most difficult time.  My memories go way back to  Mrs. Mac and the stroller rolling into all of our games, I can still see her sitting in the bleachers in Merrill Park. There is no doubt that her presence and support always made our achievements that much more special. It was always great running into you both , not nearly enough at Klees. Her memory will always be carried with me .

Jill(my sister) far right in picture..You sent me this last year...missing your friends" ..
YOU have so much to tell them 😇
Bob, Ryan and Danny.and your beautiful families... We are  truly heartbroken .
May her memory be treasured in your hearts and your children's hearts forever. 💔

Whether it was running the tailgate with her muffuletta sandwiches, rocking out to Shorty Long at the Shore or relaxing on the beach of Panther Pond, the party didn't come together without Karen. She had the funniest banter and took care of everybody as if they were family. I’m going to miss her dearly.

Thinking of you Bob, Ryan, Dan and the rest of the family. I’m so sorry she is gone and I’m sorry I’m not there to celebrate her life with you guys. She left a lasting legacy of love and so many wonderful memories.

Love, your old friend Sailor Jerry

Mr. Mac and family,
Sending you heartfelt sympathy and peace. Thinking of you during this difficult time. I hope the love and joy you all shared provides comfort and ease. 🙏🏻

While time with Aunt Karen was small, the memories of time with her, were always fun! She loved her sons sooooooo much! She was a great mother to Ryan and Daniel.  I was so happy when she came to see my 1st child. As my god mother, I always wished we had more time together, but life is busy, and time does get the better of you. I am beside myself knowing she has passed away, but more so thinking of Ryan, Daniel, and uncle Bob… she loved you 3 (and then you’re growing family) so much! Thinking of you all always!

This pic was Karen’s 2 best friends and me, I as the lil sister was always with them. They re no longer with us and now the three of them will be back together and getting in to trouble . Karen was always like a second mother to me and watching out for me every time.  I will miss her more than anyone will understand.  Rest in peace

Bob, Ryan, Dan, and Family - What you are going through right now is absolutely awful and I’m so sorry. There is nothing like losing your mom & biggest cheerleader of the family. Karen was amazing and I have so many memories of her. Please know she will always be with you, as she left a huge mark on everyone she touched. God bless & may you all keep her in your hearts always. - Jess
