Happy Birthday Karen!

Karen is still the Goddess of Fruit!
What a wonderful sister, aunt, daughter and friend she is!

We all love and admire Karen....she is "K"eeping all of us connected "A"rtistic to the ultimate max "R"eady to show love and lend a helping hand "E" ternal in her perspective and actions "N" ear and dear to all our hearts! You are the best... Bubs!


Karen has been a sister to me and also an extra mom that I desperately needed all along the way, her head massages melt me, her piano playing transcend me and her diligence to her family mesmerize me, how lucky we are to have Karen in our family.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAREN!

You two look beautiful in that last picture. I love Karen, I was remembering one of her birthdays a couple of nights ago and in the birthday circle, or whatever it is, I said she was transcendental... I don't know if that works, but I think i would use it again if I could. I miss hearing her play the piano and talking to her. Karen is hilarious.
Happy birthday!

Karen has always been like a second mom to us, and that has been a major blessing. I have so many fond memories with Karen, and I am grateful that we have her. When we first moved to California in November of 1997, Andy had picked us up from the airport and took us to grandpa and grandma's house. Karen was so sweet and accommodating that for some reason I thought she was Charlene. When I tell Karen that she always laughs.

I love Karen so much and I honestly know that my life would be absolutely insane without her in it.

I love you, Karen, and am so happy to be close to you.

Good post, Tricia and cute picture of the two of you. You are special, Karen, pretty much only caring about important things. I'm glad you are my little sister. Thanks for holding down the fort and taking care of Mom. We all love you, and I love you too.
