Dennis (Mr. Mader) and family,

I was so sad to hear that Karen passed away. I only had the privilege of meeting her a few times but she certainly made an impact. Her positive attitude, energy and infectious smile were what I remember most. I am sure this is a difficult time for you but I hope you will remember all the wonderful times you shared over 55 years. She was a special woman who lived life fully. Thank you for sharing her life story in the obituary, it is a wonderful tribute for an amazing lady. I hope to adopt her approach to life - to listen with kindness, laugh with abandon and share generously.

Take care of yourselves and once again my deepest condolences
