I worked so many years with Karen at the Astoria Nursing Home--I think we go back to the '70s. I have never known a kinder, sweeter person, always with a smile and her little hum, that we all chuckled about. Be at peace, Karen, knowing how many lives you have touched while you were with all of us. Our sympathy to all her family.
