Knowing Karen only a short time left strong memories of her smile, grace and kindness. Praying the good memories you have will give grace and healing in her absence.

Dear Richards and Gallagher Families,
Well the world is certainly a better place because of Karen! She not only talked the talk, but she walked the walk and still had time to dance! She was the Best of the Best and will be sorely missed by those who knew and loved her. While our hearts are heavy with loss at this time, may our souls dance at the thought of peace and bliss Karen is experiencing at the sight of Our Divine Saviour.
Our sympathy and prayers,
Love, Donna Davis and Warren Lasch
