I wish to express my condolences to Karen’s family. I have been friends with Karen for over 20 years. We met when we both worked at Office Depot. Even after we both left we still kept in touch and would meet regularly for lunch. I will miss her.

Brian, myself and our boys would like to extend our sincerest condolences to Uncle Kelvin and the rest of the family on the passing of Karen. We mourn her loss with you. I just finished watching the video that is posted here, and it brought back memories of when I first met Karen. We got along like old friends although we were meeting for the first time. Her passing came as a shock to all of us. We did not know that she was unwell. We are saddened that she had to depart this world so early. We pray that she rest in peace. God will grant you all the strength to cope with her loss. Savita (Brian’s wife)

My condolences to Karen’s family and friends. I had the pleasure of working with Karen in the early years of my career where she provided me with professional and personal advice which contributed to making me the man I am today. Karen was a loving soul who treated all us young professionals like her children. She will greatly be missed.

Karen was like a sister to me for many years. Have tried to find her over the years and now I never will. Rest in peace Karen and thanks for the laughter, support and encouragement.
