In the family tribute, one of her children described it as an honour to care for Karen during her most difficult hours, fulfilling a promise made to her. Previous professional training also helped prepare them to provide the care she needed.
The family expressed gratitude to Karen’s husband, brother, sister-in-law, nieces, nephews, neighbours, friends, and nurses for their dedication throughout the difficult journey.
They were described as rays of sunshine during her hardest days. Karen appreciated their kindness and loved them deeply.
