With shattered hearts, we share the devastating news that our beloved Karen passed away today. Her loss has left a void that words can’t begin to fill.

Karen and her husband, Bill, have spent their lives quietly and selflessly serving those most of the world overlooks — the underprivileged, the forgotten, the people most would never even see. Their home was a refuge, their hearts always open. They gave everything they had to lift others up — never asking for anything in return.

Now, in this time of unimaginable grief, we are asking for help on their behalf. Karen did not have life insurance, and the weight of funeral and family expenses has fallen heavily on Bill and those closest to her.

We want to give Karen the farewell she so deeply deserves — one filled with love, dignity, and peace. Any support, no matter the size, will help ease this burden and honor a woman who gave so much of herself to others.

Thank you for standing with us, for your compassion, and for helping us carry Karen into the next life surrounded by the same love she gave so freely in this one.
