Moving down the street in Dover Centre in 1998 brought us the biggest blessings in life. Almost instantly, our family grew. Karren was our next door neighbour, a second mother, a best friend, a great "secret" keeper, advice giver, mediator, baseball coach, party planner and encourager. Karren's door was always open, we were always welcome, and her home was always full of love. There were never really invitations between our houses, we simply showed up for that meal or last minute card game. Karren's kind and hospitable heart definitely shaped us into the people we are today. She included everyone, she made everyone feel special and had a way to explain people's hearts and how they were feeling. She could make kids' eyes light up with fun stories or asking them how things worked. We know Karren touched the lives of many. She lived the saying, "it takes a village"... and we are forever grateful for the years we were able to spend with her and her family. We will miss her, her smile, her laugh, but rejoice that she is completely healed in the arms of her heavenly Father. Chris, Rebecca and family, we pray that you may find peace and comfort during this time.
