Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Bill…I’m so sorry for the loss of your mom. I have such fond memories of her going all the way back to when I talked her into taking a sign language class together. She was always nothing but kind to me. I know you loved her deeply as she did you. What a terrific woman she was.
Bill and family, I worked with Karen at Internal Medicine Associates for several years. I am very sorry for your loss. Karen was a very special and insightful person who I admired alot. I spoke with her a couple of months ago when her mom died and we had a nice conversation. I had told her I would call again and we would have a longer talk and am really sorry I never to do this. My thoughts are with your family.
Blessings on you Karen! My mom fondly called you Kareney. Although I don’t remember you living with us I feel very close to you! I have always looked up to you in your nursing field and tried to model you in my own late in life school adventure. You held our hands during the loss of my parents, especially with the medical decisions for my dad’s last day on this earth! Bless you, bless you, Karen! I already miss you terribly!
