    Karen and her mother Betty were wonderful friends and fellow Toastmasters since 1987. We started our Toastmaster journey together and she followed me as Division F Governor and we worked together during her District Governor year and years after. She was a wonderful supportive friend and a GIVER of LOVE to everyone she met. She will be sorely missed. She loved her family. She was an amazing lady and friend.
