Karen would light up a room whenever she entered. When she was married to my brother you couldn't get a better sister in law, Daughter in law to my mommy, I remember how she worked long hours to buy my mom a ring with the birth stones of each of my brothers and sisters in the ring. I also remember when I stayed the weekend with my brother Kenny and Karen and she and I were making chocolate chip cookies and we ended up eating the entire cookie dough, and my brother had go and buy the ingredients for more. Karen was a great mother,and the greatest sister in law. I will miss her soooooo much!! Also Karen didn't back down from anyone, and she was honest.
