Jenna, Megan and Nicholas,

The Andrews family of North Smithfield is so saddened by the news of your mother's passing. Your parents were friends of ours when they were first married and rented a third floor apartment in our home on Green St. in Slatersville, RI. Our families stayed friendly for several years when you moved to Woonsocket. We remember them fondly and cannot believe that they are both gone at such young ages. It has been a long time since we have seen all of you, but we remember the happy times from so many years ago. We are thinking of you and praying for all of you. God bless.

I worked with Karen at OSI. We sat side by side every day and took our breaks together. We had lots of laughs together. She was such a good person. She loved her children and grandchildren. She was so proud of them. I really loved her and will miss her. She was a good friend.
