Karen was a beautiful person. So much personality. I loved our chats about Dressing for success, floral fabrics and checkered pillows. She adored Maura and was so proud of her. She will be missed especially on the Westminster Church "Design Team" with Lois Kienhotz The walls and furnishings of the church. artfully decorated, thanks to Karen and Lois.
