    My deepest condolences to Kelly and Karen’s brother Mark and sister-inlaw Kathy on Karen’s passing. I met Karen thru our mutual friend Scott J. and was blessed to attend her and Karen’s nuptials. We were also mutual friends of Bill W. and knew Kathy from High School. My thoughts and prayers to all.

    Sympathies on the passing of Karen. Many memories if Karen’s trip to Ireland in 2002 with her mother Anne Marie. That year Karen travelled to Croke Park with us to see Clare defeat Waterford and reach the All Ireland hurling final. Karen really enjoyed the game. We also met Karen in November 2017 in Boston, where we celebrated her birthday. RIP Karen
