“Karen taking the reins for my mom’s memorial was a blessing. Her presentation was so good that not only did I learn things about Mom, but afterwards friends of mine that hadn’t even met Mom felt like they knew her. Karen wove together stories she’d gathered from family and friends with her own extensive personal observations about dying and those of us left behind. This was done so beautifully that the memories of that service will be with me forever. Makes me smile.
