My condolences to all the families.

September 23, 2021 at 7:51 pmWith deepest sympathy to your family. I am so sorry to read of Karen’s passing! I knew Karen when she worked at NKU. We quickly became friends as we shared our Polish heritage. She was so kind and always had a wonderful smile to share with everyone. May she rest in peace.

November 1, 2021 at 6:06 pmI’m so sorry to hear about Karen’s passing! She had been thru so much. I had only gotten to know her in the past few years and shared similar medical problems. It hurts my heart that she went thru so much pain. I met her personally in St. Louis and her husband John while seeing Dr. V. She tried so hard to find comfort. She is now finally at peace with God, I pray for her family. Robin & Dave Herzog
