I remember Karen from when we went to school and what a super nice person she was. Just watching her & John you knew it was something that would last forever. My brother Mike & John were very good freinds and I graduated with John's brother, Ed, so I feel like I've known them all forever. I am so sorry for the loss they are feeling right now. My heart goes out to John, Shelley, Todd, all her precious grandchildren and her entire family & John's family. You are all in my thoughts & prayers.

One of my favorite memories of Karen was her smile. She always had one on and one for you if you were down and who could say no to that or her blueberry muffins. I'll miss her.

Did not know Karen well, but had known John for many years. She seemed really nice when I had met her and I know it will be a great loss for her family and friends. If I had known earlier she was in the hopital here in Iowa City, I could have taken time to see her or John before as I am in the hopital here also(although at Mercy, for cancer surgery). My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow.
