Karen, you were a beacon of light in a sea of darkness. You had an infectious spirit and smile- your positivity radiated in anything you did. No matter what obstacle you looked on the brightside. The Ashmont Grill & Tavolo family have a huge hole where you once stood, sat, sipped and smiled. Love you girl. You are with us always

Dear Kathleen, my childhood friend,
My heart breaks for you on the sudden passing of your only child. At times, we wonder why these things happen to us. However, God had already chosen Karen as one of His angels and so she was only lent to us for a short time. Take comfort in that He will never leave you alone. He will watch over you. Karen will, too. As you enter this new chapter in your life, God will direct your paths on the journey that He sees fit. Know that I am here to support you in any way that I can. My family joins me in extending deepest sympathy to you. Stay strong and take one moment at a time. Treasure your memories.

Love,
Gela

I was stunned and heartbroken to learn of Karen’s passing. She was a joy to work with, and a wonderfully welcoming presence to all who visited BBBS. She will be missed and not forgotten.
Love and peace to Kathleen during this time, and in the years to come without Karen.
With deepest sympathy,
Ann-Marie Ward
