Jim and Gail,

We just heard about your loss. We are so sorry.

John,Kate,Julie,and Kevin Kurtz

Our deepest condolences to the Owens and Newell families. We are deeply sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss. "Miss Owens" (when I knew her) was a terrific teacher--so cheerful and kind. And I had no idea we wound up having the same alma maters later on! (AWHS 2001, Arcadia University 2005). I'm keeping you and your family in my prayers.

She was such a special person who touched so many lives. She will never be forgotten.

I was so sorry to hear of Karen's passing. I know this will not help with what you are going through but maybe someday down the road this may help. I am sure her impact will be realized for years to come. .  She truely was an amazing person.  Our child was blessed to have her as his teacher, in fact I was hoping our younger child would get her next year.  She was kind, caring and loving while being able to teach with fun and joy.  It made kids want to go to school everyday.  It is amazing all the people she has impacted throughout her life and how many kids out there are doing wonderful things because of having her as one of their teachers. Thank you for sharing her with us all of these years.

You had a amazing mom/wife. When I was in 3rd grade she taught me so much. Now I am in an automotive school and everything she taught me I still use. I just wanted to say thank you and I am keeping all of you guys in my prayers. I'm so sorry for your loss of such a wonderful person! Much love and prayers go out to your family for this season and the hard time you are encountering!

Karen was such a caring and warm person and I remember my days at St. Catherine of Siena and Archbishop Wood fondly.  While I had not seen her in many years I am certain she was the centerpiece of a beautiful family.  My deepest condolences to the Owens and Newell families.

I have many fond memories of Karen during our years together as students at St. Catherine of Siena and Archbishop Wood. She always had a smile on her face and a kind word for everyone. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Most Sincerely,
Patty Moffa Barse

My son was lucky enough to have Karen for a 3rd grade teacher @ Simmons.I will always remember her wonderful smile & pleasant personality.
When you lose someone you love, you gain an angel you know.

Your in heaven now sweet sister.  Thank you for enriching our lives and leaving us only the fondest of memories.

A life taken way too Early.  Will miss your smiling face.
