    She left a wonderful legacy in her family. I know she was a fine, fine lady by virtue of the qualities of her daughter, Kaitlyn.

    Karen was my cousin. She was a very determined lady which you did not differ with. She had the Schulz gene (which many of us do) and she would accomplish anything she put her mind to. I know no other lady who built her own cottage using her elderly mother to help. I am so very sadden to hear of her passing. But I am sure she is giving her dad, Rudy, afew words of her own. Karen flo - aunt Jane and myself are thinking of you. Fondly, patti

    So sorry to hear of Karen's passing. I'm grateful for some wonderful memories of fun times at the lake in Ohio with her parents and siblings and a big passel of cousins. I remember visiting Karen and Art in Michigan when Karen Flo was just a baby--such doting parents! Over the years as we spread out across the country, we weren't able to get together often but I treasure the visits to Ohio and Pittsburgh and I appreciate how much my mother loved our extended family and helped us stay connected. Cousin Karen, you will be missed and I pray that whatever earthly sufferings you endured, now being over, you are resting joyfully in the arms of the God you loved and served.
