Dearest Karen - I know your soul is in a happy and beautiful place because you were truly an angel on this Earth.  Thank you for helping us all to be better human beings - you are greatly missed!  God bless you my darling friend.  Love, Cindy

Karen and I have been friends since 1999.
I was so blessed to have had her as my dear friend.
She was kind, loving, and full of life. Always happy, never a complainer.  Family was everything to her. Her kids, Katia and Carlos, were her pride and joy, and she loved her husband Carlos and her cat Hazel more than words. She loved her friends deeply and treasured us.
Over the years we shared so many laughs, talks, and secrets that were just ours.
I’ll never forget our trip to the San Diego Zoo.  She was so excited to go, it reminded me of a child — full of wonder and joy.
  I will miss our talks and our laughs so much. I  also cherished our friendship and I loved her  dearly.  
 My heart is broken without you, but I find.    comfort knowing you are finally at peace and free from pain.
One of the things I’ll never forget is her calling me from the hospital. Even then she was reminiscing, and she told me she cherished our friendship and loved me very much. I will carry that in my heart forever.
Love you, my dear friend.🫶
Rest easy, Karen.

A friend , support & someone who would love to enjoy life to the fullest! 22 years of friendship & every moment filled with happiness is how I’ll always remember Karen . She was a strong willed & kind person & lived for her children. You will always be remembered.
Rest in peace my friend
