Rosemarie Schack
I am married to Karen's Uncle Bob. He is also Karen's Godfather and his sister (Rita) is Karen's mother. So, I have had the opportunity to "see" Karen grow from a young girl to a beautiful women; one with an easy-going personality and truly likeable. One of her many attributes, the one that "stands out" in my mind, was her infectious laughter. She could be in a room with many and when you heard that laughter you knew it was Karen. My husband and our entire family are saddened by her passing. However, we will be blessed to continue to hear that same laughter, as one of our granddaughters, Patricia, sounds just like Karen when she laughs. Through the "miracle" of family genes, she not only inherited Karen's same laughter, but now that she has reached the age of seventeen in many ways truly resembles Karen. We had previously told Karen she had a "clone", but unfortunately they had not had the opportunity to meet. Yes, we were blessed to have Karen as part of our family and grateful for the time she was with us.
May she rest in peace.......Aunt Rosemarie
