Hello
I am the daughter of Karen’s friend Elaine Francis. It was hard to believe that they both passed away on the same night! I’m so sorry to know that Karen has passed. They were good friends, and I believe my mom shared some holidays with you. My condolences to you and your family.
God bless
Thank you Cindy. I met your other a number of times. She was a very nice lady and a very good friend to Karen. I’d like to think that they are together and not making the journey alone. I am so sorry for your loss. Take care and God bless.

Charlie Madsen and Family,
We are so sorry to learn of Karen’s passing. We lived next door to Karen, Andy and Heidi in Wildwood for many years. Karen was a wonderful neighbor, always willing to help out. She spoke so fondly of her nephews and her great-nieces and nephews. She certainly loved her animals, and our two dogs adored her. Please know you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
