Her compassion and enthusiasm for so many of life's simple pleasures served as inspiration to family and friends alike, whether it be cheering for the Brewers, taking trips, gardening, baking, catching butterflies, bowling, or simply spending time with the ones she loved, she truly viewed life as a blessing and tried to live each day to the fullest. Although her time has passed and she will be missed greatly, the wonderful memories of time spent with Karen will live on in the hearts of those she touched forever.
