Rest in Peace. I'm glad you were surrounded by family when it was your time. We should all be so lucky to have so many people around us who love us at the end.

Tribute to Karen G
You always had the Heartlight that made every room shine, Karen. When times felt dark, you reminded us to Turn on Your Heartlight and let love lead the way.
You were our Sweet Caroline - bringing smiles and good times wherever you went, arms open and laughter ringing out like a melody that never fades.
You faced each day Thank the Lord for the Night Time style - full of energy, rhythm, and the joy of life. You believed in Forever in Blue Jeans, staying humble and true to yourself, knowing happiness didn´t come from things but from the love you shared.
We´ll always remember how Love on the Rocks could still make you sway, and how, in your own way, you kept reminding us - Song Sung Blue, everybody knows one. Through all of life´s verses, you found the harmony.
Now, as we say goodbye, we keep you close in every Beautiful Noise. You´re part of every note, every chord, every song we sing from here on.
Because, dear Karen G... You Don´t Bring Me Flowers anymore - but you left us with gardens of memories that will bloom forever.
Love always,
Jeff L. And Renee L.
