Karen was a good friend, we shared lots of laughs. She was dedicated to the future nurses at Cabrillo College and made such a difference in the Nursing Department. The world has lost a kind, loving, strong woman.
I will miss you Karen.
Sorry to hear of Karen 's passing. Karen graduated from the Mt. Sinai Hospital School of Nursing in Cleveland, OH in 1968. She lived across the hall from me in the dorm. I missed her annual Christmas letter. She will be missed by many. I remember her glee at saying that she lived on Karen's Way. May her memory forever be a blessing. My condolences to her family.
