To Karen's family & loved ones, 
 
 
 
Karen was one of the best supervisors I ever had. Always cheerful, positive. A beautiful person, inside & out. She had style. She had class. I've been away from Alliance a few years now & can still remember her laugh, her smile. I am deeply saddened & shocked by this. Life is too short. Certainly in this case. 
 
 
 
Karen will be sorely missed & when I hear a YES song, will think of you Karen, as always. 
 
 
 
Soar up above us in heaven with Godspeed.

Carl ... I believe there are NO words othe than I'm so sorry. I foundly reminisce of the days when we all worked together - on the whole, those were GREAT days. 
 
 
 
Our most sincere condolences to Karen's family. Carl, we are so sorry.

My deepest and sincerest condolences to the Nelson/Stefanu family. 
 
 
 
I have had the pleasure of working with Karen from the beginning of her employment at Alliance. 
 
Karen was much more than a co-worker. She was a friend, a confidant, a student who was willing to learn more so she could share that knowledge to help others and a teacher giving freely of that what she had learned to help all, a truly deserving VIP. 
 
She will be deeply missed by those who had an opportunity to witness firsthand her vibrance and love for life. 
 
My heart will always hold a special place for you so to not forget on how you have touched us all in some way or another throughout your short life in this world. 
 
Whenever I now hear a song by "YES", I will look up to the skies and picture you leading the 
 
largest rock n' roll celebration that heaven has ever seen. 
 
God bless. 
 
Your friend and co-worker,

Karen ,We will miss you . Ever since i started Alliance many years ago you have been so kind and helpful to me . It will not be the same here without you.My thoughts and prayers go out to your family.

I can hear Karen's vibrant laugh as I sit here and think of the words that best describe the friendship that I shared with Karen. She was so honest, selfless and loving. She had such a positive energy about her that she spread around that was felt by all. 
 
 
 
My dear friend, I can not bear to say goodbye, so until we meet again, may you sing with the angels and know that you will always hold a special place in my heart.

My deepest condolences to Karen's family. I only knew Karen a short time, but she had an aura about her that always put me in a good mood at Alliance. She will be missed by many.

My most sincere condolences to the family of our friend Karen. She's a great loss for all who knew her. 
 
In the year I've worked with her, not once did she not give out her great smile and willingness to help me in anything i did. I will greatly miss her and my family 
 
will have her in our prayers. 
 
God bless,

Karen was such a big part of our work family and we all will miss her terribly. My heart goes out to her family and friends. Someone like Karen only comes around once in a lifetime and I so glad she was a part of mine. She was so much more than a co-worker. She was a friend.

My sincerest condolences to her husband, family and friends. I had the pleasure of working with Karen she was one of the most sweetest and sincere people I have known. May God Bless you all. Lenore Kacz

Karen was such a wonderful, vibrant woman and will be missed terribly. I love you Karen, and will always remember you.

GOD HAS CLEARLY TAKEN YOU TOO EARLY. 
 
YOU ARE SUCH A WONDERFUL, LOVING, 
 
GIVING PERSON. YOU DESERVED TO LIVE 
 
THE LIFE YOU PLANNED. REST IN PEACE. LOVE YOU

I have never had the opportunity to 
 
meet Karen however I have spoken to 
 
her numerous times over the phone. 
 
We always mixed business with a good 
 
laugh which I know was beneficial to 
 
both of us. We could always find a 
 
way to take the negative edge off a 
 
busy day. I regret I will not have the opportunity to make her laugh anymore. I truly believe God takes his angels for a reason. He has a job for her!

I've had the pleasure of meeting Karen through work @ Alliance. I can honestly say that Karen was a genuinely nice person that gave her all. She will be missed both as a friend and co-worker.

Karen was a great friend and an absolute pleasure to work with. Although I didn't know her for very long, she touched my life in many ways. I could always count on Karen for a laugh. She will truly be missed!

I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to Karen's husband Carl and to her family on their loss. Karen was a wonderful and gracious person and very well thought of. She always took the time to help everyone. We are all saddened by the sudden loss of our friend and will remember her always. Karen will always be a part of all of us. We love you Karen and we miss you.

Good bye, Karen, i will truly miss 
 
you. You were a good friend. 
 
There was always something very 
 
special about you and you will 
 
always share a space in my heart. 
 
God bless.

Dear Family of Karen, 
 
I am very sorry for your loss. Karen was a fantastic lady. I only had the opportunity to work with her for a very short time but she will be missed. She was always cheerful and pleasant and her willingness to help others was extraordinary. My thoughts are with all of you. 
 
 
 
Sincerely, 
 
Debbie Sadowski 
 
Alliance Shippers

You were a great teacher and much fun to work with. I will miss you and your great smile.
