She was the sweetest, kindest, the most sensitive and vulnerable and so so funny.” She described her sister as someone who was ‘grateful and thankful’ for her life and treasured not only her family and friends but ‘especially her beautiful daughter’. “She holds such a huge part of my heart and I cherish every single memory we have together. Karen’s passing is a reminder that life is so short and precious and tomorrow is never promised.
