We are so sorry for your loss. Met Karen way back working at Genovese together. She will be missed. Prayers to all of you.
Thank you so much
It is with great sadness that I learned of your wife/mother’s passing the other day. We had only spoke a few times through the years, mostly at back to school night and she was always so kind to stop and say hello. I am so sorry for your loss. You will all be in my prayers.
Thank you!
Thank you
Brian, Victoria and Dorothy, Always remember you were the flowers in her life. Now, you must move forward and bloom. She will be watching from Heaven. Take care of each other. I will never forget the laughter we shared. The true “listening” she did. Her Deep love that she shared with Aunt Julia. I know I am in shock, I know you are in shock. ONE foot in front of the other.. you will make it through the journey. She went to Heaven, far quicker than we wanted. Her pain is gone and the beauty of her soul lives on. I love you all very much. God Bless.
Thank you , love you too❤️
Dear Brian , Victoria, Dorothy
So sorry for your loss. Didn’t have the pleasure of meeting Karen, but spoke to her on the phone recently making me feel I knew her as long as I know you Brian. My/Our prayers are with all.
Thank you so much
I am so deeply sorry to hear of Karen’s transition. She was a light in this world. She was my dear friend in high school, and while we lost touch after that until recently, she always held an important place in my heart and memory. I know how much she loved you all. Brian, from the moment she saw you valeting those cars, you were the love of her life. Never doubt the intensity with which she loved you.
Thank you
