Karen and I met when we were about 16 years old and worked together at Customs and Excise. We remained close friends and Karen was one of my bridesmaids. Karen had a wonderful smile and a happy outlook on life. She found happiness with Paul and adored her sons. I am devistated at the loss of a good friend at such a young age. She will always be in my thoughts. My thoughts go out to Lynne who will miss her sister and Paul and the boys who I hope find the strength to come through this tragedy. Regards Terrie

Karen was a 'great' cousin. Always found her to be 'fun-loving' and great to be with. My last memory of Karen was when the cousins got together last Christmas and had such fun. I will sadly miss her.
