I'm saddened buy Karen's passing as we were friends and neighbors growing up in Orange Village for many years along with "Stormy " Karen's horse I thought of Karen on every February 10 as we shared birthday's Karen being one year older David Vajner
Karen, I love you with all my heart. You have been my friend since grade school. We shared so very much through the years. You, Jim, Gerard and I had such great times (Carl and Sue too). We sort of lost touch for a while, but reconnected again. You sure loved visiting Jimmy and Lori and the kids, and your love of animals was just like mine. I am deeply saddened by your recent troubles, wish I had realized the extent of them. You are and will always be my BEST FRIEND
Mom, I love you, I hope you know how much. I hope you know how much you mean to me, Lori, and the kids. You're a gentle soul and always made me feel safe when I was a boy. You always stuck up for me and loved me no matter what. You always put others before yourself, always so selflessly. You have the biggest heart ever. Lori is going to miss all the girl talk and conversations about life you shared. Your love for horses will live on through Hannah. She likes watching your home videos of when you had Stormy. Jax talks about our beach trips when you helped him build sand castles. You were more than a life-long friend to Tom and Cook, they considered you a sister. You were a bonus grandma to Christian, who you considered your own grandson. We cannot express how much you will be missed by all of us. Until we meet again your love and memory will carry on through all of our hearts.
