I worked with Karen at HH from 2004 until 2012. This news had flooded my mind with memories from that time, that I would not have recalled without this news. She was such a lovely woman. I have little reminders of her from things she had given me during the time we worked together- she dug up lots of Lily of the Valley from her garden for me to spread into my gardens, and an extra bunt cake pan (that I still have and use), part of my wedding gift was a rolling pin... She and I considered her my "Work mom" -as I first started working with her when I was a recent college graduate. I didn't realize how many lovely memories I had of my time knowing her, until I really started thinking back to those 8 years we worked together. It was wonderful getting to know her life through downtime/ lunch chats, seeing photos of her children & niece (having them visit the office), and eating lovely treats she would bake and bring in to share... The loss is heavy and she will be very missed-- so I am praying especially for you- Rick, Morgan & Matt. May this trial make each of you stronger in every way, with every day that you have before you. May God's peace be with each of you, and fill in the gaps that Karen's passing has left on your lives.
