Sending many prayers to the Marley family. Karen was the smartest person in our grade. One thing I will always remember is when she would correct Mrs. Schultz in Spanish 4. I would always know to go to Karen for help because she was smarter than the teacher. 🙂
Karen was always so pleasant to spend time around and was a true friend to our daughter. She will be truly missed. Such a tragedy that all will not be able to share and experience the world with her and her unique perspective. My sympathies to her entire family during this time, and I will be thinking about the times we got to spend in her company.
We are so sorry for your loss.
