Condolence: I worked with Karen. We both taught in the Tantasqua school system, she in Brookfield, and I in Brimfield. We both had opportunities to work together since we were both Instructional Technology. I always found Karen upbeat and lively. She was incredibly funny and equally sensitive. She had a huge heart and her commitment to teaching and kids was apparent to me. I often ran in to her around town and enjoyed her friendliness and warm greetings. Karen, will be sorely missed by many of your colleagues, I miss you already,</p>

Condolence: To Karen's Loved Ones:<BR> We have just learned of Karen's passing from old Army friends. Please accept our deepest condolences. Although brief, our friendship with Karen during the Germany Army years was rich and fun-filled. Being also of Irish descent, we enjoyed Karen's ability to find laughter in any situation, as we wives of the 2nd of the 48th Infantry sat together awainting our husbands return from "the field". God Bless and keep you, her dear ones.<BR> Love, The OReilly Family of Red Rock, Texas</p>
