My grandmother was a very kind hearted woman and would always help others in need. I will forever be upset my grandmother is now gone but to a better place. I will forever be lucky that Karen was my grandmother we will miss you very day

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Karen at Hop Energy for 7 years. After I left, Karen was one of the only people who kept in touch with me and seeing her calling or texting always brought a smile to my face. It absolutely broke my heart to hear this news - I kept thinking a few weeks ago I should text her, but life got hectic and as the saying goes, you always assume there will be more time. I never got to meet Karen in person (I worked in our Doylestown office), but we would often joke that I'd know when I'd see her by her amazing laugh. 

My thoughts and prayers go to her wonderful family and beautiful grandkids, who she constantly RAVED about. 

I'll miss you Karen. Thank you for everything over the years♡

Too Brian and family my deepest sympathy on the passing of your Mom. I knew Karen since we lived on the same block and in high school we spent some great times together even playing hooky and traveling by bus to NYC.
Many years after high school we fell out of touch when life got in the way. Fortunately we were able to reconnect years ago and for that i am eternally grateful! I will miss our phone calls and lunch dates when she would come to Toms River. Her passing will leave a  hole in my heart and she will missed every day!!

IMy thoughts and prayers are with her family. Karen and I got to be very close friends  since we share a granddaughter. She was the most kind loving,  thoughtful, caring and giving person I ever met. I was blessed to be her friend..We enjoyed spending time together. We want to see an Elvis  show , going to Sugarloaf, New York for street festival, birthday parties, anniversary parties, and just coming up to my home, sitting on the back deck enjoying each other‘s company. She would always send me small gifts or cards in the mail just because. She was an angel here on earth until our Lord called her back to heaven, with a new body, free of pain  and watching over all of us. Karen, my heart is broken that I will never see you again.  I love you 💜💚💖

Sending our deepest condolences on the loss of your loved one. Sending much love and prayers 🙏🏼❤️

My name is David, I live directly across the hall from Karen she was definitely the best neighbor a tenant can have she loved me like I was her own son and constantly checked on me if she didn’t hear me coming in or out of my apartment I would get a text saying are u ok just checking on you I would respond yes are you ok sweetie, she would say yes no matter how she was feeling she would never complain even though I would always tell her no matter what it is call me if she need me but you know Karen very independent woman with a heart of gold, over the pass few years I’ve lost love ones and each time Karen would slide a sympathy card under my door that would touch me so hard all I could do is cry and text her right away saying thank you and I love u, I will truly miss Karen rest in peace love u dearly to the family stay strong  cause her soul will be with you forever

I remember Karen in my classes in high school. She is very friendly, always smiling and a genuine friendly young lady.
